CryoCarb is an international project that includes seven research groups from Europe and Russia. Our main goal is to (i) advance organic carbon estimates for cryoturbated soils focusing on the Eurasian Arctic and (ii) to understand the vulnerability of these carbon stocks in a future climate. Our vision is to use this knowledge to improve existing models to better predict the response of cryoturbated soils to future climate conditions.
The project is an ESF-European Polar Consortium endorsed project.
The Austrian project part is funded by the FWF - Austrian Science Fund.
