Permafrost Landscape Research in the Northeast of Eurasia
Earth, 2022 The results of permafrost landscape studies on northeastern Eurasia are presented in this review. The assessment of permafrost vulnerability to disturbances and global warming was the basis for the development of these studies.

Permafrost-Landscape Map of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) on a Scale 1:1,500,000
Geosciences, 2018 The history of permafrost landscape map compilation is related to the study of ecological problems with permafrost. Permafrost-landscape studies are now widely used in geocryological mapping. Permafrost-landscape classifications and mapping are necessary

Permafrost Landscapes: Classification and Mapping [PDF]
Geosciences, 2019 Permafrost landscapes occupy 25% of the world’s land area. The formation, dynamics, and evolution of these landscapes are greatly controlled by permafrost processes and thus require special approaches to classification and mapping. Alases, pingoes,

Mapping the Main Characteristics of Permafrost on the Basis of a Permafrost-Landscape Map of Yakutia Using GIS [PDF]
Land, 2021 The purpose of this article was to compile four separate digital thematic maps of temperature and ice content of permafrost, the active layer thickness, and cryogenic processes in Yakutia as a basis for assessing changes to modern climate changes and ...

Effects of multi-scale heterogeneity on the simulated evolution of ice-rich permafrost lowlands under a warming climate [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 In continuous permafrost lowlands, thawing of ice-rich deposits and melting of massive ground ice lead to abrupt landscape changes called thermokarst, which have widespread consequences on the thermal, hydrological, and biogeochemical state of the ...

Long-term climate-influenced land cover change in discontinuous permafrost peatland complexes [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2021 The discontinuous permafrost zone is undergoing rapid transformation as a result of unprecedented permafrost thaw brought on by circumpolar climate warming. Rapid warming over recent decades has significantly decreased the area underlain by permafrost in

The Permafrost and Organic LayEr module for Forest Models (POLE-FM) 1.0 [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2023 Climate change and increased fire are eroding the resilience of boreal forests. This is problematic because boreal vegetation and the cold soils underneath store approximately 30 % of all terrestrial carbon.
