From: Unstable permafrost regions experience more severe heatwaves in a warming climate
The hatching indicates the permafrost region over the Northern Hemisphere (a), which is divided into three parts by dashed lines: the Arctic, the Mid-latitude, and the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Geohazard potential displayed here is the projected result for the middle of the century (2041–2060) under the RCP 8.5 scenario110. The conceptual diagram of the determination of T90 (b) and heatwave metrics (c).
