Ancient Carbon Is Flooding Arctic Rivers As Permafrost Melts Faster

Thawing Arctic ground is unleashing ancient carbon—and speeding up climate change. Scientists have taken a detailed new look at what happens when Arctic permafrost begins to thaw, revealing major changes to water flow and carbon movement across northern Alaska. The research, led by geoscientist Michael Rawlins at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, provides one of [...]
