Permafrost studies focus on the investigation of permanently frozen ground found in polar regions and high mountain areas. Researchers examine its composition, thickness, and distribution to understand how it affects ecosystems and climate. As global temperatures rise, thawing permafrost can release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane, contributing to climate change. Scientists use various methods, including remote sensing and field sampling, to monitor permafrost conditions. These studies are crucial for predicting the impacts of climate change on Arctic environments and for assessing risks to infrastructure in regions where permafrost is prevalent.
