Permafrost degradation on a warmer Earth: Challenges and perspectives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Permafrost, the permanently frozen ground, is warming due to global temperature rise. Permafrost research has progressed rapidly in the last decade, as large areas in the Polar Regions, in mountain environments and on high-altitude plateaus are ...

Role of permafrost degradation on evapotranspiration on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

open access: yesShui kexue jinzhan, 2022
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), known as the "Asian Water Tower", is extremely sensitive to climate change. Studying the impacts of permafrost degradation on evapotranspiration is conducive to improving the understanding of the response of hydrological ...

Divergent runoff impacts of permafrost and seasonally frozen ground at a large river basin of Tibetan Plateau during 1960–2019

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2022
Since the 20th century, due to global warming, permafrost areas have undergone significant changes. The degradation of permafrost has complicated water cycle processes.

Observed permafrost thawing and disappearance near the altitudinal limit of permafrost in the Qilian Mountains

open access: yesAdvances in Climate Change Research, 2022
Permafrost degradation has been widely reported on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). However, directly observed evidence of permafrost thawing processes and degradation rates are very limited, although it is expected to be prevalent near the periphery of a ...

Optical properties and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter along a flow-path continuum from soil pore waters to the Kolyma River mainstem, East Siberia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The Kolyma River in northeast Siberia is among the six largest Arctic rivers and drains a region underlain by vast deposits of Holocene-aged peat and Pleistocene-aged loess known as yedoma, most of which is currently stored in ice-rich permafrost ...

Factors Influencing the Spatiotemporal Changes of Permafrost in Northeast China from 1982 to 2020

open access: yesLand, 2023
Permafrost in northeast China, which is at the southern edge of the high-latitude permafrost belt in Eurasia, is extremely sensitive to climate warming.

Effect of permafrost thaw on CO2 and CH4 exchange in a western Alaska peatland chronosequence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Permafrost soils store over half of global soil carbon (C), and northern frozen peatlands store about 10% of global permafrost C. With thaw, inundation of high latitude lowland peatlands typically increases the surface-atmosphere flux of methane (CH4), a

Impacts of degrading permafrost on streamflow in the source area of Yellow River on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China

open access: yesAdvances in Climate Change Research, 2019
Many observations in and model simulations for northern basins have confirmed an increased streamflow from degrading permafrost, while the streamflow has declined in the source area of the Yellow River (SAYR, above the Tanag hydrological station) on the ...

Impacts of Permafrost Degradation on Carbon Stocks and Emissions under a Warming Climate: A Review

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2021
A huge amount of carbon (C) is stored in permafrost regions. Climate warming and permafrost degradation induce gradual and abrupt carbon emissions into both the atmosphere and hydrosphere.

Coastal permafrost landscape development since the Late Pleistocene in the western Laptev Sea, Siberia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The palaeoenvironmental development of the western Laptev Sea is understood primarily from investigations of exposed cliffs and surface sediment cores from the shelf.
