New study: Reanalyses in cold regions are 90% less accurate vs. other areas, likely due to sparse data.

This has big implications for climate science and Arctic services. ❄️🧊🌎

New method detects ground ice in #permafrost
Using SIP-derived dielectric relaxation time (10–400 µs) can reduce the ambiguity seen in other geophysical methods.
Field-tested in Yukon, Canada.

How can we better model global soil carbon?

New research uses Bayesian optimization & sensitivity analysis to improve SOC predictions in biosphere models, but data gaps, especially in boreal forests, remain a challenge: https://t.co/lCBvRy1Q41 #SoilScience #ClimateModels #SOC
