Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 28 October 2021, shows the town of Chersky in the far north of Siberia. Chersky is a small town located a few kilometres from the Arctic Ocean, where temperatures often fall below -40°C in winter. The Northeast Science Station has been monitoring the permafrost on which the town was founded for over 30 years. According to Sergey Zimov, director of the observatory, the permafrost around Chersky will completely thaw due to climate change. With his team, Zimov is studying the effects of introducing populations of herbivores into the Arctic tundra, as their pasturing could combat the accelerated thawing of the permafrost. Data from the Copernicus satellites allow the effects of climate change in the Arctic regions to be monitored with high accuracy and frequency.
