ARICE and APECS are holding a webinar on “Tracing PermafrostPermafrost is frozen ground that remains at or below zero degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) for two or more years. It forms in regions where the mean annual temperature is... More Carbon across the Beaufort Shelf – Satellites, water, microbes and mud” on 27 January 2022 from 15:00 – 16:00 GMT (16:00 – 17:00 CET)

This multi-disciplinary effort investigates the sediment column between subsea permafrostPermafrost is frozen ground that remains at or below zero degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) for two or more years.

By studying the sources, quantities and the quality of organic matter in the water column and in sediments, we aim to improve assessments of the Beaufort shelf as a carbon source or sink, and place these outcomes in the context of the Holocene paleo-environment and transgressed permafrostPermafrost is frozen ground that remains at or below zero degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) for two or more years.

Speakers are Jorien Vonk (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), Lisa Bröder (ETH Zurich) and Michael Fritz (Alfred Wegener Institute).
