Permafrost underlies upwards of of 85 percent of Alaska’s landmass, and its melting due to climate change is causing serious ecological damage. A new study co-authored by UCR's Tim Lyons looks at just one Arctic watershed and found that melting permafrost imperils fish within the river, endangers insect larvae along the riverbed, which are salmon spawning grounds, and causes increased food stress for animals living along the river.
