University of Alberta researchers looking to quantify climate change impact of carbon released from permafrost

Permafrost holds thousands of years worth of microorganisms and carbon, and as it thaws in our warming climate, it releases that carbon which in turn feeds into climate change. But we don’t yet know how much carbon is being released. That’s what researchers at the University of Alberta and beyond are working to find out.
