New NAU study measures long-term carbon loss from thawing permafrost in Alaska

Posted by Heather Tate on May 6, 2021

Ted Schuur workin in labNew long-term data from a permafrost monitoring site in Healy, Alaska, suggest it was a net carbon source to the atmosphere at least since 2004 and, under current climate conditions as the region grows warmer, will continue to be one, potentially losing up to a fifth of all carbon stored… Read more

Fuels, not fire weather, control carbon emissions in boreal forest, new study finds

Posted by Heather Tate on October 13, 2020

IllustrationAs climate warming stokes longer fire seasons and more severe fires in the North American boreal forest, being able to calculate how much carbon each fire burns grows more urgent. New research led by Northern Arizona University and published this week in Nature Climate Change suggests that how… Read more

NAU researchers on team finding stocks of vulnerable carbon twice as high where permafrost subsidence is a factor

Posted by Heather Tate on June 18, 2020

Permafrost illustration

New research from a team including scientists of the Center for Ecosystem Science and Society (Ecoss) at Northern Arizona University suggests that subsidence—gradually sinking terrain caused by the loss of ice and soil mass in permafrost—is causing deeper thaw than previously thought and making vulnerable twice as much carbon as estimates that don’t account for this shifting ground. These findings, published this week in the Read more

The frozen world and oceans at risk, says new UN special report co-authored by NAU researchers

Posted by Heather Tate on September 26, 2019

Sept. 25, 2019

The world’s oceans are getting hotter and acidifying under climate change at unprecedented rates, threatening coastal and high-mountain communities, marine ecosystems and global fishing stocks, according to a new Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC) released this week by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Ted Schuur, a researcher in the Center for Ecosystem Science and Society (Ecoss) at Northern Arizona University, was one of the lead authors on the… Read more
