Nature Communications, 2023 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.

Heavy and Light Mineral Association of Late Quaternary Permafrost Deposits in Northeastern Siberia
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 We studied heavy and light mineral associations from two grain-size fractions (63–125 μm, 125–250 µm) from 18 permafrost sites in the northern Siberian Arctic in order to differentiate local versus regional source areas of permafrost aggradation on the ...

Measurement of Excess Pore-Water Pressure in Frozen Soil at Subfreezing Temperatures Close to 0°C
Geofluids, 2022 Response of pore-water pressure has crucial effect on the engineering geological performance of permafrost ground. However, there is a dearth of literature on the measurement of pore-water pressure in frozen soils due to challenges with regard to ...

Ecological and geochemical characteristics of the snow cover in the Yakutsk city (Central Siberia)
Лëд и снег, 2021 For the first time, the geochemistry of snow cover on the territory of the city of Yakutsk, the largest city located in the permafrost zone, is considered on the basis of recent methods of analysis. To study the chemical composition of the snow cover and

Greenhouse gas balance over thaw-freeze cycles in discontinuous zone permafrost [PDF]
, 2017 Peat in the discontinuous permafrost zone contains a globally significant reservoir of carbon that has undergone multiple permafrost-thaw cycles since the end of the mid-Holocene (~3700 years before present).

Relationships between greenhouse gas production and landscape position during short-term permafrost thaw under anaerobic conditions in the Lena Delta [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2023 Soils in the permafrost region have acted as carbon sinks for thousands of years. As a result of global warming, permafrost soils are thawing and will potentially release greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Comparison of Algorithms and Parameterisations for Infiltration into Organic-Covered Permafrost Soils [PDF]
, 2010 Infiltration into frozen and unfrozen soils is critical in hydrology, controlling active layer soil water dynamics and influencing runoff. Few Land Surface Models (LSMs) and Hydrological Models (HMs) have been developed, adapted or tested for frozen ...

Monitoring the Permafrost Conditions along Pipeline Routes in Central Yakutia, Russia
Land, 2022 Pipelines are critical infrastructure for Yakutia, transporting vital supplies to communities in this vast northern region. The pipeline routes in central Yakutia traverse areas of ice-rich permafrost that is sensitive to temperature changes.
