Hello everyone! We're the @NSERC_CRSNG funded Permafrost Partnership Network for Canada, a collaborative research and training partnership for improving climate-change adaptation. Follow us for all the latest permafrost news. #permafrost #ClimateChange permafrostnet.ca

New study: Reanalyses in cold regions are 90% less accurate vs. other areas, likely due to sparse data. This has big implications for climate science and Arctic services. ❄️🧊🌎 Read our findings in The Cryosphere: doi.org/10.5194/tc-19-4525-2… #ClimateScience #Arctic #Permafrost.

New method detects ground ice in #permafrost Using SIP-derived dielectric relaxation time (10–400 µs) can reduce the ambiguity seen in other geophysical methods. Field-tested in Yukon, Canada. Read more: doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-20… #Cryosphere #Geophysics

How can we better model global soil carbon? New research uses Bayesian optimization & sensitivity analysis to improve SOC predictions in biosphere models, but data gaps, especially in boreal forests, remain a challenge: doi.org/10.1029/2024MS004577 #SoilScience #ClimateModels #SOC

Advancing #Permafrost monitoring! New work by Nicholas Brown provides 5 key thermal metrics beyond MAGT that better track thaw trends & heat content changes. Insights aid sensor placement & data analysis. More info: doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-20… #ClimateResearch #TSPmetrics

New research improves #subarctic air temperature models! By calibrating reanalysis data with Yukon weather stations, this approach tackles complex terrain & inversion events for better permafrost/climate forecasts. More: cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/1… #ClimateResearch #Permafrost
