Permafrost Landscape Research in the Northeast of Eurasia
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 Landscapes: Classification and Mapping [PDF]
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,

Permafrost-Landscape Map of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) on a Scale 1:1,500,000
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

Mapping Mountain Permafrost Landscapes in Siberia Using Landsat Thermal Imagery [PDF]
Intensive development of South Yakutia, a mountainous area in the Russian sporadic permafrost zone, must be founded on knowledge about regional permafrost conditions. New permafrost maps for mountainous areas in South Yakutia (the Elkon Mountains and the

Landsat-Based Monitoring of Landscape Dynamics in Arctic Permafrost Region
Ice-rich permafrost thaws as a result of Arctic warming, and the land surface collapses to form characteristic thermokarst landscapes. Thermokarst landscapes can bring instability to the permafrost layer, affecting regional geomorphology, hydrology, and ...

Remote Sensing of Landscape Change in Permafrost Regions
AbstractAmplification of global warming in Arctic and boreal regions is causing significant changes to permafrost‐affected landscapes. The nature and extent of the change is complicated by ecological responses that take place across strong gradients in environmental conditions and disturbance regimes.

Effects of multi-scale heterogeneity on the simulated evolution of ice-rich permafrost lowlands under a warming climate [PDF]
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]
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]
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.
