Disequilibrium response of permafrost thaw to climate warming in Canada over 1850–2100
- Yu Zhang, Wenjun Chen, Daniel W. Riseborough,

- Reasons for recommending:
Thawing of permafrost in the Arctic tundra owing to global warming could affect "hydrology, ecosystems, soil biogeochemistry and the stability of buildings and infrastructure in high latitudes", Zhang et al. point out. Here they model permafrost thawing in a simulation that reaches deep underground, beyond the rapidly warming surface.
