Greenhouse gas balance over thaw-freeze cycles in discontinuous zone permafrost [PDF]
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).

ABSTRACT In this study, the internal structure and seasonal variations of cryo‐hydrogeological features were investigated in the Fuglebekken catchment, located near the Polish Polar Station Hornsund in Svalbard. Over a few years, rising air temperatures and intensified water circulation have significantly altered the distribution, extent, and state of ...

Current Status of Permafrost Degradation
Abstract: Permafrost, the permanently frozen ground is defined as any type of ground-from soil to sediment to rock- that remains at or below 0° C for at least two consecutive years. At present, permafrost occurs on one quarter of the exposed land surfaces of the earth, but the permafrost extent and its estimate have been changing rapidly. Under warming

Effects of Surface Characteristics on the Existence of Isolated Permafrost in Northeastern Mongolia
ABSTRACT Isolated patches of permafrost, where ground thermal changes are affected by ecosystem factors such as vegetation cover rather than climate, may be vulnerable to environmental disturbances in semiarid regions. However, the impacts of ecosystem factors remain underevaluated in Mongolia.

A New Method of Diagnosing the Historical and Projected Changes in Permafrost on the Tibetan Plateau
The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the largest permafrost distribution zone at high‐altitude in the mid‐latitude region. Climate change has caused significant permafrost degradation on the TP, which has important impacts for the eco‐hydrological processes.

ABSTRACT The Nacho Nyäk Tagé (Stewart River) watershed in central Yukon (Canada) is characterized by discontinuous permafrost that is locally highly sensitive to thaw. This study aims to map the spatial distribution of permafrost terrain disturbances (PTDs) in the watershed and model thaw susceptibility to support community‐led land‐use planning by the
