Sebastian Laboor

Sebastian Laboor is a Researcher at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) within the Polar Terrestrial Environmental Systems department, specializing in permafrost research. His work focuses on the Yedoma permafrost domain, a unique ice-rich permafrost type critical to global carbon and nitrogen cycles. He contributes to international projects like the ESA DUE GlobPermafrost initiative, developing geospatial tools such as the Arctic Permafrost Geospatial Center and the Permafrost Information System (PerSys) for data dissemination. His research addresses climate change impacts, including permafrost thaw dynamics and carbon feedback mechanisms. Laboor collaborates globally, with fieldwork in Arctic regions like Siberia and Alaska, and publishes widely on permafrost distribution, genesis, and environmental implications.
