#Arctic #warming could pose a threat to America’s #security too: #Alaska may have new vulnerabilities to both #China & #Russia; changes in #ocean salinity & temp might interfere w/ #submarine detection systems; extremes of climate change, including #permafrost thaw in Russia, may drive #economic #instability, social #unrest, & territorial claims. [#Trump #Intelligence Agencies excluded #ClimateChange from the annual #ThreatAssessment report for the first time in decades — too *woke*]

Bio:

Climate scientist at #DMI.

Coordinator of PolarPortal (lots of up-to-date Arctic data) and ROPEWALK (huge Danish logbook digitization project together with @rigsarkivet).

#ClimateChange in the Arctic, in particular #Greenland and in Africa, in particular #Tanzania.

Modelling subsea #permafrost.

Conveying science to the public: #IKFF #IKlimaforskernesFodspor #BestilEnForsker

🇪🇺 with dual citizenship 🇩🇰 and 🇩🇪 and (occasionally) tooting in three languages.

Per rallentare lo scioglimento del #permafrost e ridurre il rilascio di anidride carbonica, l'azienda #ColossalBiosciences vuole ripristinare l'ecosistema della tundra artica. ❄️

Per farlo, useranno il genome editing per creare nuove specie di #elefanti resistenti al freddo, modificando il loro #DNA in modo che sia più simile a quello dei #mammut. 🦣

È di ieri la notizia della creazione dei primi topi lanosi, un primo passo in questa direzione. 🐭

Cosa pensi di questo progetto?

Tornati in vita dal permafrost organismi zombie. Hanno risvegliato esseri preistorici dal ghiaccio e ora si stanno clonando da soli. Il permafrost siberiano ha custodito per 24.000 anni un segreto biologico inedito: minuscoli organismi simili a vermi chiamati rotiferi bdelloidi che, una volta scongelati da ricercatori russi, non solo sono tornati alla vita, ma hanno anche iniziato a replicarsi..

Groundwater in the Arctic is delivering more carbon into the ocean than was previously known

A relatively small amount of #groundwater trickling through #Alaska's #tundra is releasing huge quantities of #carbon into the #ocean, where it can contribute to #ClimateChange, according to new research out of The University of Texas at Austin.
As the tundra continues to thaw and the flow of submarine groundwater ratchets up, Demir said that the outflow of carbon from shore to sea could effectively make ocean surface waters a carbon source to the #atmosphere. The #CO2 released via groundwater could also contribute to ocean #acidification.
"The #Arctic coast is changing in front of our eyes," said Bayani Cardenas, a co-author of this study and professor at the Jackson School's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. "As #permafrost thaws, it turns into coastal and submarine #aquifers. Even without this thawing, our studies are among the first to directly show the existence of such aquifers."

Permafrost in climate change: Models predict #Arctic 's response to global warming

When the #permafrost thaws, microorganisms begin to break down the material. This produces greenhouse gases: #CarbonDioxide (#CO2) or #methane, (#CH4) which has about 28 times the warming effect of CO2 on a time horizon of 100 years. These gases also escape from the ponds and lakes, where a lot of #carbon is decomposed as well.

Este es el cráter Batagaika, en la República de Sakha (Rusia), el más grande causado por el colapso del suelo tras el deshielo del permafrost.

Su historia marca la famosa sinergia entre cambio climático y actividad humana en la que una desencadena el potencial de la otra.

¿Cómo? 🤔

Explicación 🧵

Melting #permafrost is bad, mmkay.

Iron and sulfite minerals are now leaching into once pristine arctic rivers, acidifying them. One the sulfur acidifies the water it begins to leach toxic compounds and elements into the rivers. It was more commonly seen in rivers where abandoned mines were nearby.
