2019-06-19 | Scientists amazed as Canadian permafrost thaws 70 years early - Reuters
'LONDON (Reuters) - Permafrost at outposts in the Canadian Arctic is thawing 70 years earlier than predicted, an expedition has discovered, in the latest sign that the global climate crisis is accelerating even faster than scientists had feared. '
'The paper was based on data Romanovsky and his colleagues had been analyzing since their last expedition to the area in 2016. '
'The vista had dissolved into an undulating sea of hummocks - waist-high depressions and ponds known as thermokarst. '
'Vegetation, once sparse, had begun to flourish in the shelter provided from the constant wind. '
'The team used a modified propeller plane to visit exceptionally remote sites, including an abandoned Cold War-era radar base more than 300 km from the nearest human settlement. '
