Maps and Graphics from the Arctic Permafrost Atlas

The Arctic Permafrost Atlas presents state-of-the-art knowledge about permafrost and the impacts of permafrost thaw on human settlements in the Arctic. It is a key outcome of the NUNATARYUK project and has been written and edited by GRID-Arendal together with all NUNATARYUK project partners, scientists and early-career scientists.
