Nunataryuk project delivers Arctic Permafrost Atlas

The Arctic Permafrost Atlas is a key outcome of the Nunataryuk project. Edited by GRID-Arendal together with all Nunataryuk project partners, it will present state-of-the-art knowledge about permafrost and the impacts of permafrost thaw on human communities in the Arctic

As an interdisciplinary publication, it will both focus on the nature sciences of permafrost, but also the Arctic communities and people whose lives revolve around permafrost and explore strategies they can use to adapt to permafrost thaw.

...
In order to further make the scientific information easily accessible to general public, text is kept to minimum within the chapters while the largest part of the publication is maps and graphics that compile the sometimes complex information into a form that does not require scientific background to be understood.

...
To give the atlas also a human dimension, 9 portrait interwies of people either living or working on permafrost have been included. These portairts build on the special relationship each of the interviewees have with permafrost and how it impacts their day-to-day life and work in the North.
