Impacts of permafrost degradation on infrastructure

Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, 2022
Abstract The warming and thawing of ice-rich permafrost pose considerable threat to the integrity of polar and high-altitude infrastructure, in turn jeopardizing sustainable development. In this Review, we explore the extent and costs of observed and predicted infrastructure damage associated with permafrost degradation, and the methods available to ...

Impacts of climate-induced permafrost degradation on vegetation: A review

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2021
Under a warming climate, degrading permafrost profoundly and extensively affects arctic and alpine ecology. However, most existing relevant studies are more focused on the hydrothermal impacts of vegetation on the underlying permafrost, or symbiosis ...

Permafrost Degradation and Its Hydrogeological Impacts [PDF]

Water, 2022
Under a warming climate, permafrost degradation has resulted in profound hydrogeological consequences. Here, we mainly review 240 recent relevant papers. Permafrost degradation has boosted groundwater storage and discharge to surface runoffs through improving hydraulic connectivity and reactivation of groundwater flow systems, resulting in reduced ...

Thermal Regime and Variations in the Island Permafrost Near the Northern Permafrost Boundary in Xidatan, Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Although the thermal regime and degradation of permafrost on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) have been widely documented, little information exists regarding the island permafrost in the area. Ground temperatures were therefore measured for 8 years (2013–

Degrading permafrost and its impacts

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2021
Abstract Permafrost presents extensively on the land surface and it is degrading under the combined influences of warming climate and human activities. The degrading permafrost will post profound impacts in hydrology, ecology, engineered infrastructures, and socioeconomic development. In order to better adapt to these changing permafrost environments,

Understanding Effects of Permafrost Degradation and Coastal Erosion on Civil Infrastructure in Arctic Coastal Villages: A Community Survey and Knowledge Co-Production

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
This paper presents the results of a community survey that was designed to better understand the effects of permafrost degradation and coastal erosion on civil infrastructure. Observations were collected from residents in four Arctic coastal communities:

Assessing effects of permafrost thaw on C fluxes based on multiyear modeling across a permafrost thaw gradient at Stordalen, Sweden [PDF]

, 2014
Northern peatlands in permafrost regions contain a large amount of organic carbon (C) in the soil. Climate warming and associated permafrost degradation are expected to have significant impacts on the C balance of these ecosystems, but the magnitude is ...

Modeling Long‐Term Permafrost Degradation [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2018
Permafrost, as an important part of the Cryosphere, has been strongly affected by climate warming, and a wide spread of permafrost responses to the warming is currently observed. In particular, at some locations rather slow rates of permafrost degradations are noticed.
