As permafrost thaws, a portion of this carbon - still largely uncertain - is released in the form of greenhouse gases (GHG), resulting in a permafrost carbon-climate-feedback.

On April 9, the Earth and Life Institute is delighted to welcome Professor Carole Dalin for an ELI Sustainability Talk entitled “Sustainability of global agricultural systems: Impacts on water, climate and biodiversity”.Carole Dalin is a CNRS Researcher at École normale supérieure in the Department of Geosciences.

Elevated arsenic (As) contents in topsoils with high background levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) poses human, environmental and regulatory challenges, as total PTE contents may exceed soil quality values. Understanding As distribution and mobility in these soils is important, as total content measurements alone are insufficient for reliably estimating potential expos
