Podcasts about Permafrost

Risse im Berg, notfallmässig muss ein ganzes Dorf evakuiert werden. Gründe für den Bergsturz in Blatten gibt es viele, noch ist aber vieles unklar. Robert Kenner forscht beim Institut für Schnee und Lawinenforschung zur Alpinen Umwelt und Naturgefahren. Sind beispielsweise im Gebirge Böden dauerhaft gefroren, dann spricht man von Permafrost. Dieser ist im Gegensatz zu Gletschern nicht sichtbar. Er spielt für die Stabilität der Hänge, für die Hydrologie und Naturgefahren eine wichtige Rolle. Unterdessen sind grosse Flächen dieses Permafrostes in den Schweizer Alpen aufgetaut. Weitere Faktoren für Fels- oder Bergstürze kann auch die Gravitation sein, eine Ermüdung des Felsens oder wenn der Gletscher erodiert und die Spannung sich verlagert. Wie verändern sich unsere Alpen momentan? Was geschieht in Brienz, sind diese beiden Ereignisse vergleichbar? Robert Kenner ist zu Gast im Tagesgespräch bei Karoline Arn.

About 15% of the Northern Hemisphere is covered by permafrost.  Permafrost is soil and sediment that has remained frozen for long periods of time, in some cases as much as 700,000 years.  It contains large amounts of dead biomass that has accumulated over millennia and hasn't fully decomposed.  Therefore, permafrost is an immense carbon sink.

In het ijskoude noorden van Canada ligt een dorpje dat langzaam in de zee verdwijnt door klimaatverandering. Dat klinkt misschien als het plot van een slechte rampenfilm, maar helaas is het realiteit. Je komt niet zomaar in dat dorp; je moet zo'n drie dagen reizen via land, zee en lucht, en als er eenmaal bent is het vaak ijskoud. Nou ja, koud, maar ook steeds warmer, want door klimaatverandering dooit het oeroude water in de grond, totdat er geen grond meer is om te dooien. Dat dorp heet Tuktoyaktuk. Onderzoeker Fleur van Crimpen stond zelf jarenlang met haar laarzen in de modder van Tuktoyaktuk om de permafrost waarop het is gebouwd te onderzoeken. Ze praat er passievol over met Syb Faes, de presentator van deze nacht, en vertelt hoe ze ook een band heeft opgebouwd met de lokale bevolking. En Tuktoyaktuk lijkt misschien uitzonderlijk en onbenullig, maar toch zou het dorp zomaar eens de toon kunnen zetten voor de toekomst van Nederland.

Sherlock Holmes needs a break. That's the recommendation of his friend, Dr. Watson, after Holmes's exertions on his last case lead him to a nervous breakdown. So Holmes and Watson are off to the countryside for a week of relaxation...until there's a murder in the sleepy village where they're staying. Could the murder of poor William Kirwan be related to the robbery at Acton's place two days ago? If anyone can find out, it's Sherlock Holmes, even if his illness seems to have him a little off his game. Tuck yourself under the covers and settle in as this week's story helps you take your own break from the day and carries you into another night of gentle and relaxing slumber. -----Welcome to the Sherlock Holmes Bedtime Stories podcast.

Die Vereinten Nationen haben das Jahr 2025 zum Internationalen Jahr der Erhaltung der Gletscher erklärt und den 21. März als Welttag der Gletscher ausgerufen. Wenn wir über Gletscher sprechen, dann über die spektakulären Eisriesen in den Hochalpen, die wegen des Klimawandels Jahr um Jahr weniger werden. Es gibt in den Alpen aber auch Eisschichten, die tief in Gestein und Geröll hinreichen: den Permafrost. Meterdickes Eis, das unsere Berge wie ein Kitt zusammenhält. Aber auch dieser Kitt leidet unter dem Klimawandel - mit fatalen Folgen.

In Alaska gibt der schmelzende Permafrostboden Verborgenes preis: eine 500 Jahre alte Siedlung zum Beispiel, deren Artefakte vor dem Zerfall gerettet werden müssen. Doch während die Vergangenheit freigelegt wird, droht die Gegenwart zu versinken. Von Rebecca Stegmann www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Die Reportage

Lukas Arenson wanderte 2003 wegen seiner Forschungstätigkeit als Permafrost Ingenieur mit seiner Frau nach Kanada aus. Seit siebzehn Jahren lebt er mit seiner Familie in Vancouver an der Westküste in British Columbia. Für seine Forschungsprojekte reist er um die Welt. Der Basler Lukas Arenson studierte Permafrost an der ETH in Zürich. Seit über zwanzig Jahren lebt der Forscher und Permafrost Ingenieur in Kanada. In Vancouver arbeitet er als Berater für eine Firma, die weltweite Permafrost Projekte tätigt. Der 52-Jährige ist auch für den Bau der Küstenschutzmassnahmen mitverantwortlich. Im Zuge der globalen Erwärmung, wird das Bauen auf Permafrostböden zu einer immer grösseren Herausforderung: «Wir bauen Fundamente auf Eis, statt auf Erde und Felsen. Wenn das Eis schmilzt, werden Häuser oder Strassen instabil.» Für seine Forschungsarbeiten reist Lukas Arenson oft in Gebiete, wo Naturgefahren bestehen. Beispielsweise nach Peru oder Nepal. Aber auch in der Arktis geben ihm die Inuit ihr wertvolles Wissen über das Bauen auf Permafrost weiter: «Die Inuit erfahren die Veränderungen der Natur aus erster Hand. Wir können viel von ihnen lernen.» Pfefferspray zum Schutz vor Bären Lukas Arenson ist bei seinen Feldarbeiten in der kanadischen Wildnis schon einigen Bären begegnet. Er hat ein «Bear Safety» Training gemacht und hat auch immer seinen Bärenspray dabei: «Aber zum Einsatz kam der zum Glück noch nie. Mit lauten Geräuschen suchen die Bären normalerweise rasch das Weite.»

I'm going to continue doing these for a while, it feels right for me. I will create another podcast and call it NatAndChat Sleep Stories. You can find them there shortly. This will be the second and last one I upload here on my Self Awareness podcast. Eventually you will be able to play them back to back without interruption there. I look forward to writing fiction getting easier :) Keep an eye out for the Podcast Art on that one to be changing; I have a kind friend who is going to help me with a photo for it. I have a fun idea and hope to execute it with her help. These Sleep Stories are for my sweet friends Fufu and Lulu. This is my attempt to "do something".

Seit Monaten ist das neue System der Schweizer Armee zur Überwachung des Luftraums und zur Leitung der Kampfjets sistiert. Nun liegt Radio SRF ein armeeinterner Bericht vor, der massive Spannungen unter den Projektbeteiligten offenlegt. Weitere Themen: Der Klimawandel hat starken Einfluss auf die Berggebiete. Eine neue Studie zeigt, auch die Hütten des SAC, des Schweizerischen Alpen Clubs, sind betroffen. Sie können zu rutschen beginnen, wenn der Permafrost auftaut und dem SAC fehlt vielleicht bald das Geld für Sanierungen. Mit dem Ja zur einheitlichen Finanzierung des Gesundheitswesens kann Bundesrätin Elisabeth Baume-Schneider erstmals als EDI-Vorsteherin einen wichtigen Abstimmungserfolg verbuchen. Die Bundesrätin wirkt, als sei sie angekommen im neuen Amt. Sie bleibt aber unter kritischer Beobachtung.

What do you love about the show? Let us know! In this episode of Discover Daily, hosts Alex and Sienna dive into the mysterious craters appearing in Siberia's permafrost. Recent scientific investigations reveal these massive holes, measuring up to 230 feet across and 160 feet deep, are caused by climate change triggering explosive releases of methane gas. As Arctic temperatures rise, surface ice melt travels into underground pockets of unfrozen, salty soil called cryopegs. This builds up immense pressure over years until it cracks the permafrost above and triggers sudden explosive methane releases, forming huge craters.The hosts also discuss a discovery by chemists at UCLA who have upended a century-old rule in organic chemistry. By successfully synthesizing molecules that were thought to be impossible under Bredt's Rule, the researchers have opened up exciting new possibilities for drug discovery and materials science. These "anti-Bredt" molecules could lead to novel medicines that interact with the body in powerful new ways.For the final segment, Sienna explores a study that shows evolution may be more predictable than previously thought. Using machine learning to analyze bacterial genomes, scientists uncovered deterministic patterns in how genes interact and evolve over time. With the ability to forecast evolutionary trajectories, this research could transform fields from medicine to environmental science - enabling us to combat antibiotic resistance, engineer microbes to break down pollution, and even develop solutions to climate change.

Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, Kevin Tumlinson, and Dick Wybrow as they discuss the week's entertainment news, including the Romance Writers of America filing for bankruptcy, Polis Books, and how Costco plans to stop selling books year round. Then, stick around for a chat with Carol LaHines! Carol LaHines: For me, the most affecting stories are those that are leavened with a sardonic sensibility.  Italo Calvino, one of my favorite writers, notes “th[e] particular connection between melancholy and humor,” speaking of how great writing “foregrounds [with] tiny, luminous traces that counterpoint the dark catastrophe.”  I've always veered toward the great literary comic writers—from Cervantes to Laurence Sterne to Pynchon, with a particular reverence for Nabokov, who believed that the best writing places the reader under a spell. My debut novel, Someday Everything Will All Make Sense, was a finalist for the Nilsen Prize for a First Novel and an American Fiction Award. My second novel, The Vixen Amber Halloway, is forthcoming in 2024 (Regal House). My fiction has appeared in journals including Fence, Denver Quarterly, Hayden's Ferry Review, Cimarron Review, The Literary Review, The Laurel Review, South Dakota Review, North Dakota Quarterly, The South Carolina Review, The Chattahoochee Review, The Nebraska Review, North Atlantic Review, Sycamore Review, Permafrost, redivider, Literary Orphans, and Literal Latte. My story, “Papijack,” was selected by judge Patrick Ryan as the recipient of the Lamar York Prize for Fiction. My short stories and novellas have been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and been finalists for the David Meyerson Fiction Prize, the Mary McCarthy Prize, the New Letters short story award, and the Disquiet Literary Prize, among others. My nonfiction includes “New York est une ville a part,” appearing in chantier d'ecriture (Mémoire d'encrier, A. Heminway, ed.). I am a graduate of New York University, Gallatin Division, and of St. John's University School of Law. My teachers include Rick Moody, Phil Schultz, and Sheila Kohler. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/writersink/support
