Why is this important?Because it can affect the Greenlandic population.It can affect the animal and plant life in the Greenlandic nature.It can cause the ice sheet to melt, wich will have a global effect.

Atmospheric Carbon Levels
Current level is 390 ppm -Has reached 400 ppm in the past year -Exponential Growth Curve
Seasonal Fluctuation -High in winter, low in summer -Why?

PermafrostWhat is it?
-Frozen soil (> 2 years) -Gelisols- ”ice soils”
Why is it important? -Carbon store -Active layer exists on top (Cryoturbation)
