Thousands of industrial sites were found to be correlated with contaminated sites in the Arctic. Between 13,000 and 20,000 contaminated sites are likely to exist in the permafrost region, 26% of which will be affected by permafrost thaw before 2100.

Fast response of cold ice-rich permafrost in northeast Siberia to a warming climate
Siberian Arctic permafrost contains vast stores of carbon, the fate of which is dependent on the climate. Here the authors use models of future scenarios to show that under the direst climate changes up to 2/3 of the stored organic carbon could thaw.

Long-Term Variability in Ground Thermal State in Central Yakutia’s Tuymaada Valley
This paper presents the results of long-term temperature monitoring at the Yakutsk and Zeleny Lug stations, which are experimental sites, for the thermal state of valley permafrost landscapes under the conditions of modern climate warming. An analysis of

Permafrost and Climate Change: Carbon Cycle Feedbacks From the Warming Arctic
Rapid Arctic environmental change affects the entire Earth system as thawing permafrost ecosystems release greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Understanding how much permafrost carbon will be released, over what time frame, and what the relative ...

A Sustainable Concept for Permafrost Thermal Stabilization [PDF]
Although permafrost thermal stabilization systems have been used for a long time already, they have always had shortcomings and limitations of performance which have become even more pronounced in the warming climate. Those could be overcome to some extent, but at high cost mainly defined by need in energy supply.

Lake water and talik groundwater interaction in continuous permafrost, Central Yakutia [PDF]
Structural features of a lake talik associated with eolian relief are discussed. Analysis of hydrochemical and hydrological data for 2010-2017 showed that talik groundwater feeds lake and maintains perennial outflow from the lake.
