OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, Feb. 15 (TNSjou) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists set out to address one of the biggest uncertainties about how carbon-rich permafrost will respond to gradual sinking of the land surface as temperatures rise. Using a high-performance computer simulation, the research team found that soil subsidence is unlikely to cause rampant thawing in the future.< . . .
