Permafrost carbon feedback, modeling of the terrestrial biosphere, biogeochemistry, remote sensing of active layer thickness
- Exploring the Dynamics of the Active Layer and Near-Surface Permafrost across the North Slope of Alaska
- Exploring the Dynamics of High Latitude Carbon Balance
- The North American Carbon Program Multi-Scale Synthesis and Terrestrial Model Intercomparison Project
- Quantifying Uncertainty in the Permafrost Carbon Feedback
- Science-Driven Cyberinfrastructure: Integrating Permafrost Data, Services, and Research Applications (PermaData)
RECENT HIGHLIGHTS AND UPCOMING EXPEDITIONS:
- November 2012: Release of Policy Implications of Warming Permafrost for the United Nations Environmental Programme
- August 2012: Schaefer traveled to the North Slope of Alaska to collect permafrost cores and perform active layer surveys.
- July 2012: Schaefer published a paper in Nature Geoscience showing reduced carbon uptake during the 2000-4 drought in the western North America. The drought was the worst in 800 years and is expected to the dry end of a new mega-drought in the western United States (Schwalm et al., 2012).
- April 2012: Paper published in Nature linking the sudden warming of the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) 55 million years ago to carbon dioxide and methane released from thawing permafrost in Antarctica (DeConto et al., 2012)
CURRENT RESEARCH:
- We are currently quantifying the strength, timing, and dynamics of the permafrost carbon feedback. The permafrost carbon feedback is an amplification of surface warming from anthropogenic greenhouse emissions due to the release of CO2 and methane from thawing permafrost.
- We are developing new remote sensing techniques to measure active layer thick-ness from space. Currently, the only way to measure active layer thickness is to go into the field and directly measure it using a metal probe.
- We are exploring ways to improve the representation of various biogeochemical and physical processes in terrestrial biosphere models. We are organizing several Model Intercomparison Projects (MIPs) to compare model output against observations to identify the key model parameters or structures that drive model performance.
ACTIVITIES:
Schaefer is lead organizer of the North American Carbon Program (NACP) Site Synthesis. We are comparing simulated carbon fluxes from 21 models against observed carbon fluxes at 44 eddy covariance flux towers.
