Frostbyte G Tanski: Permafrost carbon degradation at the land-ocean-interface

This FrostByte was created by George Tanski from the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, for ICARP conference, part of Arctic Science Summit Week, held in Toyama, Japan 21 - 30 April, 2015.

This Frostbyte gives an overview about my current studies on permafrost carbon and its degradation along Arctic coasts, especially in Canada. It gives an overview of the scope of my current project and the objectives of my PhD in general.

FrostByte X Fettweis: Modeling of the Greenland ice sheet surface mass balance with the regional MAR model

This FrostByte was created by Xavier Fettweis, from University of Liège (Belgium), for the Constraining uncertainty in Greenland Ice Sheet surface mass balance model output and in situ validation workshop, held 19-20 May 2015, in Sheffield, UK.

This FrostByte shows that the Greenland ice sheet contribution to sea level changes is a drop over the 20th century and a rise during the 21st century.

FrostByte R Hock: Worldwide glacier wastage - Implications for sea level and streamflow

This FrostByte was created by Regine Hock, from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, for the 11th Session of the CliC Steering Group, held in Boulder, Colorado USA, 9-12 February 2015.

This frostbyte is about glaciers other than the ice sheets and their contribution to sea-level rise.

FrostByte C Treat: Detecting permafrost aggradation in peatland ecosystems to understand the effects on climate

This FrostByte was created by Claire Treat for the Permafrost Carbon Network Project Leads Meeting, in Flagstaff, AZ, USA, in May, 2015.

My research uses a synthesis of plant macrofossils, or small pieces of plants preserved in peat, to study the causes and effects of permafrost aggradation in boreal and arctic peatlands.

FrostByte J Strauss: Organic carbon stocks in ice-rich permafrost of the Yedoma region

This FrostByte was created by Jens Strauss for the Permafrost Carbon Network Project Leads Meeting, held in Flagstaff, AZ, USA in May, 2015.

This FrostByte is about ice-rich Yedoma and thermokarst permafrost in the Yedoma region. I found that that this kind of permafrost stores about 213 gigatonnes organic carbon, which is a significant amount of carbon so far not included in climate models.
