CAIG: Quantifying Regional-Scale Carbon Dynamics of Thawing Arctic Permafrost Using Progre — NSF Award to University of Texas at A
The Arctic’s permafrost — persistently frozen ground — holds an enormous amount of carbon, roughly twice the amount currently in the Earth’s atmosphere. As permafrost thaws, the associated release of dissolved carbon into the ocean causes acidification that threatens marine life, disrupts ecosystems, and puts coastal c

| Abstract | The Arctic’s permafrost — persistently frozen ground — holds an enormous amount of carbon, roughly twice the amount currently in the Earth’s atmosphere. As permafrost thaws, the associated release of dissolved carbon into the ocean causes acidification that threatens marine life, disrupts ecosystems, and puts coastal communities and food security at risk. This project brings together geoscience and artificial intelligence (AI) experts to develop new tools that will help us better understand and |
