Strategy and implementation plan 2016 - 2020 for the Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost (GTN-P)
Permafrost is recognized as Essential Climate Variable (ECV) within the Global Climate Observing System of UN and ICSU organisations. The Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost (GTN-P) is the primary international programme concerned with long-term monitoring of permafrost. The core mission of the GTN-P is sustained comprehensive long-term monitoring network, in order to provide consistent, representative and high quality standardized long-term data series of selected permafrost parameters at key sites and to assess their state and changes over time. The Strategy and Implementation Plan 201 ...CliC Annual Report
CliC is pleased to release its 2014 Annual Report which summarizers the amazing number of activities that we sponsored, supported, and in many cases, initiated over the past few years. We hope you will take the time to read the achievements, as well as our plans for the coming year(s).Alaskan ice retreat uncovers new methane seeps
Science for Environment Policy, Issue 295. EEA, 2012Scientists have found that retreating glaciers and melting permafrost in Alaska are releasing up to 70% more methane – a potent greenhouse gas – than previously thought. If this estimate is true for the rest of the Arctic, this could have serious implications for global warming, say the scientists.Policy Implications of Warming Permafrost
Out of the world’s entire population, few know what permafrost is and fewer still have ever seen - let alone set foot upon - actual permafrost. Yet permafrost occurs in 24% of exposed land in the Northern Hemisphere. Permafrost is key to the planet’s future because it contains large stores of frozen organic matter that, if thawed and released into the atmosphere, would amplify current global warming and propel us to a warmer world. This report seeks to inform a broad audience about permafrost and communicate to decision-makers and the general public the implications of changing permafrost in a ...Snow, water, ice and permafrost in the Arctic (SWIPA) : climate change and the cryosphere.

The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme is one of five Working Groups of the Arctic Council.
The primary function of AMAP is to advise the governments of the eight Arctic countries (Canada, Denmark/Greenland, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden and the United States) on matters relating to threats to the Arctic region from pollution, and associated issues.
AMAP has produced a series of high quality scientifically-based assessments of the pollution status of the Arctic. The AMAP assessment reports (both the popular readable versions and detailed scienti ...
