More than a decade after predictions were made, Earth is on track to lose 93 percent of near-surface permafrost by next century.
Data shows warming of Earth is on pace with extreme climate scenariosFAIRBANKS, Alaska - A team of international scientists has compared climate data with a decade old projection and the results show a large loss of near-surface permafrost by 2100.Some new research from international collaborators, including UAF scientists, suggests that 93 percent near-surface permafrost could be gone in less than 80 years. That’s an estimate for global permafrost loss, not just Alaska.
Not only does current data show that we are currently in the most extreme scenario, there have been years where air temperatures exceeded that scenario. The continued increase of surface air temperature is a concern, as even moderate increases could brings a large loss of near-surface permafrost.
