Committee on Opportunities to Use Remote Sensing in Understanding Permafrost and Ecosystems: A Workshop, Polar Research Board, Division on Earth and Life Studies, National Research Council
Permafrost is a thermal condition -- its formation, persistence and disappearance are highly dependent on climate. General circulation models predict that, for a doubling of atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, mean annual air temperatures m...Loe edasi...
