Cover Story: As the Arctic warms faster than any other region in the world, there have been startling changes to ice, land, and sea. Permafrost covers vast areas of high latitudes and altitudes, throughout the Arctic and Antarctic, but also along the Tibetan Plateau. Threats from thawing permafrost involve not only greenhouse gases and pathogens, but also impacts to ecosystems and human communities. Data sharing is essential to making sense of rapid and ongoing change. However, observational data on permafrost characteristics are largely restricted and fragmented across commercial, as well as national, authorities, including civilian and military. To that end, improving the ongoing sustainment and enhancement of permafrost monitoring systems, as well as promoting open data exchange, remains the best solution for the global understanding of permafrost.
