How Permanent is Permafrost? AI Might Help Us Find the Answer
Permafrost degradation is an urgent concern for Arctic ecosystems, and the implications are vast. A recent paper leverages artificial intelligence to develop better predictive models of permafrost thaw. The researchers used data from NEON’s terrestrial field sites in Alaska to train the model, along with data from AmeriFlux.
Source or Sink? Inland Waters Can Be Both for Nitrous Oxide
A recent study using data from NEON aquatic sites shows that across the continent, under the right conditions, freshwater lakes and streams may act as both sources of atmospheric N2O, and as sinks for the gas. This behavior may help to partially offset N2O emissions and is crucial to account for in modeling.
Studying Viruses Using Archived Rodent Samples
Arvind Varsani is interested in virus diversity at many scales and across species. He collaborated with Laura Steger and Kelsey Yule at the NEON Biorepository at ASU, along with other researchers, to explore the potential of extracting viral DNA from archived rodent fecal and liver samples. Their work was published recently in Virology.
