Hello Cynthia,Thank you for visiting my expedition site and posting a very good question. Dr. Natali and her team are studying how the carbon in the frozen ground in Alaska may affect the changing climate if the ground begins to melt. The frozen ground, or tundra, has been frozen for thousands of years, so no one is sure of what will happen if it warms up.
