Arctic wildfires ‘rapidly’ burning permafrost, causing more intense wildfires
A vicious cycle is happening throughout the world's arctic regions: wildfires are thawing permafrost, causing more wildfires. Here's why.
Arctic wildfires will drastically intensify as permafrost thaws
Melting Arctic permafrost is sparking more wildfires. These fires release gases that trap heat, causing a climate disaster.
Thawing Permafrost Poised To Fuel Surge in Canadian Wildfires
The accelerating thaw of permafrost due to climate change could dramatically increase the risk of wildfires in Arctic and subarctic regions, according to new research published in Nature Communications.
Climate models predict abrupt intensification of northern wildfires due to permafrost thawing
A study, published in the journal Nature Communications by an international team of climate scientists and permafrost experts shows that, according to new climate computer model simulations, global warming will accelerate permafrost thawing and as a result lead to an abrupt intensification of wildfires in the Subarctic and Arctic regions of northern Canada and Siberia.
Abrupt intensification of northern wildfires due to future permafrost thawing
Climate scientists and permafrost experts show that, according to new climate computer model simulations, global warming will accelerate permafrost thawing and as a result lead to an abrupt intensification of wildfires in the Subarctic and Arctic regions of northern Canada and Siberia.
Watch The Wildfires Intensification Due To Rapid Permafrost Thawing
Researchers have predicted a rapid increase in western Siberia and Canada in the mid to late 21st century as permafrost thaws due to climate change. The lower left color bar represents permafrost areas and the lower right color bar indicates the extent of burnt area,
