Potential for Abrupt Changes in Atmospheric Methane [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Methane (CH4) is the second most important greenhouse gas that humans directly influence, carbon dioxide (CO2) being first. Concerns about methane’s role in abrupt climate change stem primarily from (1) the large quantities of methane stored as solid ...

Developments in Permafrost Science and Engineering in Response to Climate Warming in Circumpolar and High Mountain Regions, 2019–2024

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 167-188, April/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Research in geocryology is currently principally concerned with the effects of climate change on permafrost terrain. The motivations for most of the research are (1) quantification of the anticipated net emissions of CO2 and CH4 from warming and thaw of near‐surface permafrost and (2) mitigation of effects on infrastructure of such warming and

Shrubs Strongly Influence Snow Properties in Two Subarctic Watersheds

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 189-204, April/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding changes in snow distribution in permafrost ecosystems is fundamental to predicting their response to future climate change. The expansion of tall shrubs into tundra ecosystems can trap snow and insulate permafrost ecosystems during the winter, but the overall insulation effect is dependent upon many ecosystem properties. To study

Microbial Ecology of Permafrost Soils: Populations, Processes, and Perspectives

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 245-258, April/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Permafrost microbial research has flourished in the past decades, due in part to improvements in sampling and molecular techniques, but also the increased focus on the permafrost greenhouse gas feedback to climate change and other ecological processes in high latitude and alpine permafrost soils.

Heat Conduction with Phase Change in Permafrost Modules of Vegetation Models [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
We consider the problem of heat conduction with phase change, that is essential for permafrost modeling in Land Surface Models and Dynamic Global Vegetation Models. These models require minimal computational effort and an extremely robust solver for large-scale, long-term simulations.

Parallel Splitting and Decomposition Method for Computations of Heat Distribution in Permafrost [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A mathematical model, numerical algorithm and program code for simulation and long-term forecasting of changes in permafrost as a result of operation of a multiple well pad of northern oil and gas field are presented.

Quantifying Permafrost Degradation Processes: Real‐Time Analysis Using Environment‐Based Particle Image Velocimetry and Weather Data

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 272-283, April/June 2025.
ABSTRACT We present an innovative approach to understanding permafrost degradation processes through the application of new environment‐based particle image velocimetry (E‐PIV) to time‐lapse imagery and correlation with synchronous temperature and rainfall measurements.

Advances in Permafrost Representation: Biophysical Processes in Earth System Models and the Role of Offline Models

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 302-318, April/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Permafrost is undergoing rapid changes due to climate warming, potentially exposing a vast reservoir of carbon to be released to the atmosphere, causing a positive feedback cycle. Despite the importance of this feedback, its specifics remain poorly constrained, because representing permafrost dynamics still poses a significant challenge for ...
