#Yedoma is an organic-rich (about 2% carbon by mass) Pleistocene-age #permafrost with ice content of 50–90% by volume.
"The deposits formed due to a combination of aeolian, colluvial, nival, and alluvial deposition and simultaneous ground ice accumulation. [...] The substantial amount of ground ice in Yedoma makes it highly vulnerable to disturbances such as #thermokarst and thermo-erosion processes." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825217300508?via%3Dihub #climateChange #Siberia #Yukon #Alaska #zombie #Pandoravirus

The Melting Arctic Is Releasing Ancient Germs – How Worried Should We Be?

The youngest #virus to be revived was a sprightly 27000 years old. And the oldest (a #Pandoravirus) was around 48500 years old. This is the oldest virus ever to have been revived.
As the world continues to warm, the thawing #permafrost is releasing organic matter including #bacteria and #viruses – some that can still reproduce.

Virus giganti rinascono dal permafrost scongelato. Risuscitati virus zombie rimasti per millenni nel permafrost. Possono ancora infettare. Allerta per il riscaldamento globale.
Risuscitati 13 virus 'zombie' che erano rimasti intrappolati per millenni nel permafrost della Siberia: il più antico risale a quasi 50.000 anni fa.
