Members of the SEARCH-affiliated Permafrost Carbon Network have convened a conference session exploring the permafrost carbon (CO2, CH4) and non-carbon (N2O) feedbacks of climate change as part of the 2018 EGU General Assembly. The session is seeking contributions that address N2O dynamics from Arctic ecosystems that aim to understand the dynamics and estimate the potential importance in climate feedbacks compared to CO2 and CH4. The EGU General Assembly will take place in Vienna, Austria from 08–13 April 2018. Abstract deadline is January 10, 2018.
