Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 Last October, when Susan Hubbard and her team pulled sleds full of sensitive sensors across the snow near the northernmost point in Alaska, temperatures hovered in the single digits and low teens (e.g., 8–15 °F). Foremost in the researchers’ minds, aside from collecting data on the frozen ground beneath their feet, were two things: keep an eye out for ...

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.

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

The Monterey Event and the Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 401-416., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

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).

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.

Rock glaciers in the Ulakhan-Chistay ridge (axial part of the Chersky mountain range)
Лëд и снег, 2019 The Ulakhan-Chistay Ridge is interesting by the fact that one of the most extensive mountain glaciations in northeast Russia is located here. In addition, there are widespread specific glacial-cryogenic formations – stone glaciers related to glacial and
