Location: Zoom (details are posted in our Teams site).
Permafrost science spans a wide range of disciplines and landscapes, united by a common goal: understanding the impacts of climate change on sensitive permafrost regions. Yet, there is little consensus on how to classify terrain units with similar responses to change—making cross-disciplinary and cross-study synthesis a persistent challenge. This is further complicated by the multi-scale nature of the processes we study, from fine-resolution field observations to global-scale Earth system models. To meaningfully connect these scales, we need a shared framework that unifies how we view and classify permafrost terrain across scales and disciplines.
