Over one-third of Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) mountain huts could be unstable in the future due to thawing permafrost, according to a study.

HMA, home to over 70% of the world's low-latitude mountain permafrost, faces ongoing warming. Scientists have debated whether HMA will become a net source of carbon emissions in the future ...

This includes studies of snow hydrology, streamflow generation, and sediment transport. It incorporates work on periglacial processes, mountain permafrost, and hillslope processes. Over the past 20 ...

That’s a problem because the permafrost holds enormous amounts of vulnerable carbon, more than twice as much carbon as is already present in the atmosphere. Some of that carbon is now on the move.

The trails up to the refuge on the Hoher Sonnblick mountain, which stands at 3,106 metres (10,190ft), are also suffering.

In perhaps the first long-term study of CO 2 fluxes in northern forests growing on permafrost, an Osaka Metropolitan University-led research team has found that climate change increased not only ...

Marcia Phillips, a permafrost researcher with ... So precarious had the mountain become that Marcia and her colleagues had given up on borehole testing and instead resorted to remote monitoring.
