Pan-Arctic thermokarst lagoon distribution, area and classification

Thermokarst lagoons develop in permafrost lowlands along the ice-rich Arctic coast when thermokarst lakes or basins with bottom elevations at or below sea level are breached by the sea due to erosion, sea-level rise, or connection via drainage channels ...

Remote sensing of drained thermokarst lake basin successions [PDF]

, 2018
Thermokarst lakes are important factors for permafrost landscape dynamics and carbon cycling. Thermokarst lake cover is particularly high in Arctic lowlands with ice-rich permafrost.

Detecting unvegetated permafrost-thaw features in Arctic tundra using imaging spectroscopy

Environmental Research: Ecology
Freeze-thaw cycles, hydrology, soil mixing, and permafrost degradation shape landscape patterns in permafrost regions, forming unvegetated or sparsely vegetated landforms with varied topography.

Ground subsidence and polygon development due to thermokarst in the Lena-Aldan interfluve, eastern Siberia, revealed by satellite remote sensing data

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
Thermokarst development is a topographic change in the landscape that is commonly associated with permafrost degradation in ice-rich permafrost regions.

Variation in greenhouse gas production within a thermokarst lagoon system, outer Mackenzie Delta, Canada

When highly degraded, lowland thermokarst landscapes are flooded by the sea, and thermokarst lagoons, lakes, and the sea become connected with each other, complex lagoon systems are formed.

Evaporation From Soil and Thermokarst Lakes Contribute More to Local Precipitation Than Plant Transpiration in Permafrost Regions of the Central Qinghai—Tibet Plateau

Water Resources Research
Permafrost degradation on the Qinghai—Tibet Plateau (QTP) directly affects evapotranspiration and moisture recycling processes by changing the underlying land surface conditions.

Preliminary Investigation of Thermokarst Development on the North Slope, Alaska [PDF]

, 1963
The North Slope of Alaska is extensively featured by a characteristic form of morphology designated thermokarst . Briefly, thermokarst is a term applied to a karst-like topography formed in permafrost regions that have had extensive thaw.

Rapid thermokarst evolution during the mid-Holocene in Central Yakutia, Russia

, 2017
The reconstruction of Holocene thermokarst landform evolution is important to understand the potential impact of current global climate change on permafrost regions.

Estimating nutrient stoichiometry and cascading influences on plankton in thermokarst lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Communications Earth & Environment
Thermokarst lakes play a critical role in global biogeochemistry. Here we delved into nutrient stoichiometry and its cascading effects on plankton communities across thermokarst lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
