An Initial Estimate of the Cost of Lost Climate Regulation Services Due to Changes in the Arctic Cryosphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Outlines how arctic sea ice and snow cover help maintain the global climate and ecosystems, the impact of changes in sea and land reflectivity and methane emissions, research on the social cost of carbon, and the estimated economic cost of climate ...

Remote sensing of rapid permafrost landscape dynamics

open access: yes, 2017
The global climate is warming and the northern high latitudes are affected particularly rapidly. Large areas of this region, or 24% of the northern hemisphere, are influenced by perennially frozen ground or permafrost. As permafrost is predominantly dependent on cold mean annual air temperatures, climate warming threatens the stability of permafrost ...

Fluvial Morphology in Different Permafrost Environments—A Review

open access: yesQuaternary
This review presents a synthesis of the interaction between the hydro-morphological processes on interfluves and channels within fluvial catchments in permafrost regions.

Origin and structure of Devensian depressions at Letton, Herefordshire [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Groups of circular to oval enclosed depressions in soft sediments of Pleistocene age are relatively common in north-west Europe. These features are normally interpreted as being either glacial or periglacial in origin.

Climate and Hydrogeological Controls on Water Tracks in Permafrost Landscapes

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics
AbstractClimate change drives disturbance in hydrology and geomorphology in terrestrial polar landscapes underlain by permafrost, yet measurements of, and theories to understand, these changes are limited. Water flowing from permafrost hillslopes to channels is often modulated by water tracks, zones of enhanced soil moisture in unchannelized ...

Policy implications of warming permafrost [PDF]

open access: yes
Permafrost is perennially frozen ground occurring in about 24% of the exposed land surface in the Northern Hemisphere. The distribution of permafrost is controlled by air temperature and, to a lesser extent, by snow depth, vegetation, orientation to ...

The impact of lateral heat and water fluxes from thermokarst lakes on tundra landscape dynamics and permafrost degradation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Projected future warming of the Arctic will result in pronounced degradation of permafrost and thereby trigger large-scale landscape and ecosystem changes.
