Relationships between greenhouse gas production and landscape position during short-term permafrost thaw under anaerobic conditions in the Lena Delta [PDF]
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).

Rock glaciers in the Ulakhan-Chistay ridge (axial part of the Chersky mountain range)
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

Monitoring the Permafrost Conditions along Pipeline Routes in Central Yakutia, Russia
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.

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.

When the bottom of the foundation pit is below the groundwater level, groundwater drawdown is required; as a rule, it is extremely expensive. In order to reduce water drawdown costs in areas with consistently low air temperatures we suggest to excavate ...

Permafrost temperature and active-layer thickness of Yakutia with 0.5-degree spatial resolution for model evaluation [PDF]
Based on the map of landscapes and permafrost conditions in Yakutia (Merzlotno-landshaftnaya karta Yakutskoi0 ASSR, Gosgeodeziya SSSR, 1991), rasterized maps of permafrost temperature and active-layer thickness of Yakutia, East Siberia were derived.

Mapping Mountain Permafrost Landscapes in Siberia Using Landsat Thermal Imagery
Intensive development of South Yakutia, a mountainous area in the Russian sporadic permafrost zone, must be founded on knowledge about regional permafrost conditions. New permafrost maps for mountainous areas in South Yakutia (the Elkon Mountains and the

Degradation changes stable carbon isotope depth profiles in palsa peatlands [PDF]
Palsa peatlands are a significant carbon pool in the global carbon cycle and are projected to change by global warming due to accelerated permafrost thaw. Our aim was to use stable carbon isotopes as indicators of palsa degradation.

Climate and Permafrost Shifts in Yakutia’s Arctic and Subarctic from 1965 to 2023
By analyzing the last 50–60 years of climate changes in Arctic and Subarctic Yakutia, we have identified three distinct periods of climate development.

Influence of Rainfall Changes on the Temperature Regime of Permafrost in Central Yakutia
Climate change effects, such as melting of glaciers and sea ice in response to rising temperatures, may lead to an increase in global water availability and thus in precipitation.
