As scientists, we study predict and inform about rates of thaw and melt.

But what do we feel seeing too early ice-free sea and ecological cascades? In today's post, @leahsmuhle.bsky.social interviewed @inkerimarkkula.bsky.social about her #ecologicalgrief work.

Permafrost contains 50% of all the soil carbon found on Earth (upper 3 meters). We need to keep that carbon in the ground. Fast permafrost facts to kick off the Permafrost Carbon Network meeting.
