Hi! Alexander,
On 30 Nov 18 10:09, you wrote to me:

I did not know the depth factor. I've seen video of defrosting Siberian
permafrost and also Alaskan/Canadian permafrost that have alarmed me. The
footage seemed to target 'creek' sites where none should be, and at those
places the sides are approxiamtely 30-50 meters deep to meet the outflowing
waters. If it wasn't for the science assistants actually in the creeks, it
would otherwise be difficult to judge the depth of the banks.
Unfortunately, the permafrost melt is a double-hit with reports of the melted
biomass releasing greenhouse gases more harmful than carbon-dioxide, along with
the release of 'fresh' water to water systems, and into the oceans. Nasty.
And I have not seen reports of any permafrost being renewed. Most perturbing.

In a way it's comforting to see those figures. This town's height is just
under 9 meters. My eldest daughter has also viewed the videos and has already
agreed to move to an alternate town/city. My other girl is already in an ideal
place, except for the pollution factor (can't win).
Thank you. Have fun!
Cheers,
Paul.
