Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract The retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS), a prevalent form of thermokarst hazard in permafrost regions, are increasing in both number and extent under contemporary changing environments. On the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, RTS threaten transportation infrastructure and disrupt ecosystems.

Investigation of thermal regimes of lakes used for water supply and examination of drinking water system in Kotzebue, Alaska [PDF]
, 2012 Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2012Many villages in Arctic Alaska rely on lakes for water supply, such as the Alaskan City of Kotzebue, and these lakes may be sensitive to climate variability and change, particularly thermal regimes and ...

Effect of permafrost thawing on organic carbon and trace element colloidal speciation in the thermokarst lakes of western Siberia [PDF]
, 2011 To examine the mechanisms of carbon mobilization and biodegradation during permafrost thawing and to establish a link between organic carbon (OC) and other chemical and microbiological parameters in forming thermokarst (thaw) lakes, we studied the ...

Policy implications of warming permafrost [PDF]
Permafrost is perennially frozen ground occurring in about 24% of the exposed land surface in the Northern Hemisphere. The distribution of permafrost is controlled by air temperature and, to a lesser extent, by snow depth, vegetation, orientation to ...

Multiyear measurements of ebullitive methane flux from three subarctic lakes [PDF]
, 2013 Ebullition (bubbling) from small lakes and ponds at high latitudes is an important yet unconstrained source of atmospheric methane (CH4). Small water bodies are most abundant in permanently frozen peatlands, and it is speculated that their emissions will
