Northern Arizona University, USA

Ted is the Principal Investigaor of the Permafrost Carbon Network and the lead of the Permafrost Action Team. He is a professor of Ecosystem Ecology with a special focus on the response of Arcitc ecosystems in a warmer world.

Dr. Christina SchÄdel

Christina is a co-Principal Investigator and was the lead coordinator of the Permafrost Carbon Network from 2011 - 2022. Christina has taken a new position at the Woodwell Climate Research Center and stays involved and connected with Permafrost Carbon Network activities.

Steering Committee

We have a steering committee that is comprised of individuals that have been or currently are leading syntheses. They also represent strong linkages to other permafrost relevant organizations (e.g. International Permafrost Association), and span a range of science disciplines, national and international institutions, gender, and career stage.
