This project focuses on developing a version of ORCHIDEE for high-latitude regions, emphasizing soil freezing, multilayer snow, permafrost carbon dynamics, and wetland processes for improved climate feedback and methane flux modeling. Ongoing work includes assessing climate feedback uncertainty, wetland methane variability, and thermokarst module development in ORCHIDEE.
