Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 2058-2083, 15 April 2026.ABSTRACT Land degradation poses significant challenges to maintaining food–water–energy (FWE) security, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. The ecosystem services (ES) related to FWE are critical for sustainable regional development. Yet, rapid urbanization in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region has altered land use and ecological patterns ...

Performance of shallow anchor in ice-rich silt [PDF]
, 2014 Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2014Shallow anchor systems have been widely used for decades due to their time and cost efficiency. Yet when it comes to cold regions like Alaska, new challenges caused by the harsh environment need to be ...

North American Circum-Arctic Permafrost Degradation Observation Using Sentinel-1 InSAR Data
Remote SensingIn the context of global warming, the accelerated degradation of circum-Arctic permafrost is releasing a significant amount of carbon. InSAR can indirectly reflect the degradation of permafrost by monitoring its deformation.

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Type 1/M1/TH1 and type 3/M1/TH17 pro‐inflammatory switches are risks for latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) reactivation and ongoing infection transmission. This paper considers the heavy toll of reactivation risk in Indigenous communities in Canada and the chronic, everyday pro‐inflammatory stressors connected with type 3/M1/TH17 immune ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We used sedimentary ancient DNA shotgun metagenomics to reconstruct past bird communities in northern high‐latitude environments. By using long time series and data collected across a large environmental gradient, we contributed in a unique and explorative way to the understanding of palaeoecological dynamics between birds and their habitat on the ...

Permafrost degradation in West Greenland [PDF]
, 2012 Important aspects of civil engineering in West Greenland relate to the presence of permafrost and mapping of the annual and future changes in the active layer due to the ongoing climatically changes in the Arctic. The Arctic Technology Centre (ARTEK) has worked more than 10 years on this topic and the first author has been involved since 1970 in ...

Near-shore permafrost degradation in Siberia
, 2017 Ice-rich permafrost coasts in the Arctic are susceptible to a variety of changing environmental factors, all of which currently point to increasing coastal erosion rates and mass fluxes of sediment and carbon to the shallow arctic shelf seas. Coastal erosion and flooding inundate terrestrial permafrost with seawater and create submarine permafrost ...

Policy implications of warming permafrost [PDF]
Permafrost is perennially frozen ground occurring in about 24% of the exposed land surface in the Northern Hemisphere. The distribution of permafrost is controlled by air temperature and, to a lesser extent, by snow depth, vegetation, orientation to ...
