The session will broadly cover modelling of permafrost dynamics, interactions, and feedbacks with the hydrological cycle, seasonal snow cover, biogeochemical and biogeophysical processes, and landscape processes (e.g. thermokarst, wildfires) across spatial scales. We welcome abstracts focusing on permafrost mechanisms and the sensitivity of permafrost physics, ecosystems and biogeochemistry to global warming under scenario-based future projections, including climate mitigation scenarios. Contributions that consider permafrost dynamics and interactions over the historical period and deeper past, using observational and advanced modelling tools, are also strongly encouraged.
