Monitoring the Degradation of Island Permafrost Using Time-Series InSAR Technique: A Case Study of Heihe, China

open access: yesSensors, 2019
In the context of global warming, the air temperature of the Heihe basin in Northeast China has increased significantly, resulting in the degradation of the island permafrost.

Permafrost degradation, subarctic Canadian Shield

open access: yes, 2019
Recent ground temperature and observational data for lithalsas in the subarctic Canadian Shield (permafrost mounds of ice-rich, fine-grained sediments) are examined in the context of an inventory of thermokarst ponding between 1945 and 2005. Results show that many lithalsas are thermally and physically degrading, and widespread thermokarst primarily ...

Temperature fluctuations controlled episodic rockfall activity in the Rwenzori Mountains (Uganda) during the Holocene

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
The alignment between rockfall deposit surface exposure 10Be ages and Holocene temperature records suggests that major rockfall events occurred episodically in response to climatic fluctuations. We conclude that temperature and its evolution enabled mechanical, chemical or bio‐chemical enhancement of fracture progression.

Water security from Indigenous knowledge perspective: A scoping review

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2668-2681, August 2026.
Abstract Water security is a growing field of research in water resources management and has been increasingly examined from the perspectives of Indigenous knowledge. This study presents a scoping review that explores how Indigenous knowledge perspectives on water security are represented in the scientific literature.

Reassessing Alpine Permafrost Thermal State by Accounting for Ground Ice

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Permafrost thermal state, representing the stored “cold energy” in the ground, is crucial for assessing permafrost changes. However, the conventional metric, mean annual ground temperature (MAGT), has inherent limitations because it overlooks the thermodynamic contribution of ground ice.

Climate extremes relevant for permafrost degradation

open access: yes, 2020
<p>During the past several decades, Arctic regions warmed almost twice as much as the global average temperature. Simultaneously in the high northern latitudes, observations indicate a decline in permafrost extend and landscape modifications due to permafrost degradation.

Diagnosing Cryospheric Runoff Dynamics: A Distributed Differentiable Hydrological Model With Global Transfer Learning

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Accurate hydrological prediction in alpine regions remains challenging due to complex cryospheric processes and limited observational records. Traditional hydrological models are often subject to structural uncertainty, whereas purely data‐driven deep learning (DL) models may lack physical interpretability under non‐stationary climate ...

Alleviation of phosphorus rather than nitrogen limitation driven by permafrost and landscape effects on Dahurian larch forests

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2590-2601, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Permafrost thaw is reshaping nutrient dynamics in boreal forests, but its impacts on tree nutrient limitation and functional strategies remain poorly understood. Clarifying these responses is crucial for predicting the response of boreal forests to climate change.
