Hot off the presses! Abrupt permafrost thaw is a critical climate feedback but is poorly defined & understood. In an awesome collaboration between my team & the Permafrost Carbon Network, PhD student Hailey Webb provides a formal definition to guide future studies. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Congratulations to Dr. Ying and all co-authors, including @benpoulter.bsky.social @profdesai.bsky.social and @woodwellclimate.bsky.social @permafrostpathways.bsky.social's Jennifer Watts, Kyle Arndt, @annvirkk.bsky.social, Brendan Rogers, and Sue Natali. essd.copernicus.org/articles/17/...

If you need land cover datasets for the Arctic-boreal region, here is one great option for you at 1-km resolution: essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es.... It merges several regional products and separates dozens of key land cover types (e.g. bogs, fens, pine forest, spruce forest). 🌎🏞🏔

First circumpolar maps of aboveground tundra biomass at 30 m resolution 💪 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... These new estimates show that in total tundra plants (above-and belowground) store around 8 Pg C while the upper 30 cm soils store ca 53 Pg C.

" The sooner we reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, the sooner we can get the permafrost to refreeze," said Sue Natali. Thanks @vivianla.bsky.social for covering this study!

We are so grateful for everyone's engagement and great questions on this study! We want to address a few of the main ones that have appeared 🧵

We are looking for a grant-funded doctoral resarcher on a project focusing on how tree and shrub expansion into the tundra impact biodiversity and carbon balance @Department of Geosciences and Geography @helsinkiuni.bsky.social! DM me if you are interested, and please share!

Last week's highlight was our study in @natclimchange.bsky.social showing over 30% of the Arctic-boreal region as a CO2 source: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
