Past permafrost dynamics can inform future permafrost carbon-climate feedbacks [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2023
Climate warming threatens to destabilize vast northern permafrost areas, potentially releasing large quantities of organic carbon that could further disrupt the climate.

Evidence for unexpected net permafrost aggradation driven by local hydrology and climatic triggers

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2023
Rapid rates of high latitude warming over the past century have led to widespread research on permafrost thaw and its consequences. Studies from lowland plains environments in the discontinuous permafrost zone have highlighted extensive areal loss of ...

Distribution and Structure Analysis of Mountain Permafrost Landscape in Orulgan Ridge (Northeast Siberia) Using Google Earth Engine

open access: yesLand, 2022
An analysis of the landscape spatial structure and diversity in the mountain ranges of Northeast Siberia is essential to assess how tundra and boreal landscapes may respond to climate change and anthropogenic impacts in the vast mountainous permafrost of

Remote Sensing-Based Statistical Approach for Defining Drained Lake Basins in a Continuous Permafrost Region, North Slope of Alaska

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Lake formation and drainage are pervasive phenomena in permafrost regions. Drained lake basins (DLBs) are often the most common landforms in lowland permafrost regions in the Arctic (50% to 75% of the landscape).

Landsat-Based Monitoring of Landscape Dynamics in Arctic Permafrost Region

open access: yesJournal of Remote Sensing, 2022
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 ...

Brief Communication: Future avenues for permafrost science from the perspective of early career researchers [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2015
Accelerating climate change and increased economic and environmental interests in permafrost-affected regions have resulted in an acute need for more directed permafrost research.

Utilization of ancient permafrost carbon in headwaters of Arctic fluvial networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Northern high-latitude rivers are major conduits of carbon from land to coastal seas and the Arctic Ocean. Arctic warming is promoting terrestrial permafrost thaw and shifting hydrologic flowpaths, leading to fluvial mobilization of ancient carbon stores.

A Modeling Toolbox for Permafrost Landscapes

open access: yesEos, 2018
A new resource makes it easier for researchers to explore predictions of how melting permafrost might affect carbon release, wetlands, and river deltas as they evolve and other interacting effects.

Localized Vegetation, Soil Moisture, and Ice Content Offset Permafrost Degradation under Climate Warming

open access: yesGeosciences, 2023
Rapid Arctic warming is expected to result in widespread permafrost degradation. However, observations show that site-specific conditions (vegetation and soils) may offset the reaction of permafrost to climate change.

Enhanced CO2 emissions driven by flooding in a simulation of palsa degradation [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences
Climate change is predicted to put most of the permafrost habitats in the discontinuous zone at risk of disappearing within the next few decades. On a decadal scale, abrupt permafrost thaw may result in larger C losses than gradual permafrost thaw, but ...
