permafrost

MIT Technology Review's daily newsletter highlights a feature on the future limits of computing beyond shrinking transistors, alongside reporting from Alaska on Arctic fires threatening thawing permafrost and its climate impact.

MIT Technology Reporting highlights three key takeaways from new coverage of permafrost: it is a major blind spot in climate models, accelerating Arctic wildfires can speed its thaw, and its carbon cycle is far more complex than current projections account for.
