New studies by AWI that include rapid thaw processes now have determined that even permafrost currently still very cold could be gone near the surface by the end of this century. "Abrupt thaw processes could potentially increase total permafrost carbon emissions by 40 percent" said Guido Grosse, head of the AWI Permafrost Research section.
