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.

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Soil carbon (C) in permafrost peatlands is vulnerable to decomposition with thaw under a warming climate. The amount and form of C loss likely depends on the site hydrology following permafrost thaw, but antecedent conditions during peat accumulation are

Ice Volumes in Permafrost Landscapes of Arctic Yakutia
Land, 2022 This article is devoted to the study of the distribution of ground ice volumes in the upper layers of 5–10 m permafrost in the permafrost landscapes of Arctic Yakutia. Compilation of such a map will serve as a basis for assessing the vulnerability of permafrost to global warming, anthropogenic impact and forecasting the evolution of permafrost ...

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

Past permafrost dynamics can inform future permafrost carbon-climate feedbacks
Communications 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.

Landsat-Based Monitoring of Landscape Dynamics in Arctic Permafrost Region
Journal 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 ...

Remote 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).
