Permafrost Landscape Features

, 2020
Permafrost underlies the tundra of the circumpolar North. The landforms of permafrost regions are formed from the development or thawing of ground ice.

Drivers of fish biodiversity in a rapidly changing permafrost landscape

Freshwater Biology, 2021
Abstract Rapid environmental change occurring in northern permafrost regions may have profound implications for fish biodiversity but remains poorly understood. Climate change, increasing human development, and resultant permafrost thaw may combine to alter the quality and quantity of fish habitat including reductions in preferred thermal habitat ...

Threshold loss of discontinuous permafrost and landscape evolution

Global Change Biology, 2017
AbstractThis study demonstrates linkages between the 1997/1998 El Niño/Southern Oscillation index and a threshold shift to increased permafrost loss within a southern Taiga Plains watershed, Northwest Territories, Canada. Three‐dimensional contraction of permafrost plateaus and changes in vegetation structural characteristics are determined from ...

Air Temperature Regulates Erodible Landscape, Water, and Sediment Fluxes in the Permafrost‐Dominated Catchment on the Tibetan Plateau

Water Resources Research, 2021
Approximately 40% of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is underlain by continuous permafrost, yet its impact on fluvial water and sediment dynamics remains poorly investigated.

Landscape‐scale variations in near‐surface soil temperature and active‐layer thickness: Implications for high‐resolution permafrost mapping

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 2021
Soil temperature observations in permafrost regions are sparse, which limits our understanding and ability to map permafrost conditions at high spatial resolutions. In this study, we measured near‐surface soil temperatures (Tnss) at 107 sites from August

Mapping permafrost landscape features using object-based image classification of multi-temporal SAR images

Isprs Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2018
Microwave imagery has a distinct advantage over optical imagery in high-latitude areas because it allows data to be acquired independently of cloud cover and solar illumination.

A Conceptual Model for Anticipating the Impact of Landscape Evolution on Groundwater Recharge in Degrading Permafrost Environments

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Temperatures in the arctic and subarctic are rising at more than twice the rate of the global average, driving the accelerated thawing of permafrost across the region.

Utilizing the TTOP model to understand spatial permafrost temperature variability in a High Arctic landscape, Cape Bounty, Nunavut, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 2020
Ground surface and permafrost temperatures in the High Arctic are often considered homogeneous especially when viewed at the scale of climate and environmental models.
