Accelerating thermokarst lake changes on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAs significant evidence of ice-rich permafrost degradation due to climate warming, thermokarst lake was developing and undergoing substantial changes. Thermokarst lake was an essential ecosystem component, which significantly impacted the global carbon ...

A Tale of Two Seasons: Distinct Seasonal Viral Communities in a Thermokarst Lake [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Thermokarst lakes are important features of subarctic landscapes and are a substantial source of greenhouse gases, although the extent of gas produced varies seasonally. Microbial communities are responsible for the production of methane and CO2 but the “

Thermal effect of thermokarst lake on the permafrost under embankment
Advances in Climate Change Research, 2021 In permafrost regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, road disaster caused by permafrost degradation cannot be ignored. As a common thermal disaster in permafrost regions, thermokarst lake has serious thermal erosion on permafrost and results in permafrost

Tracking lake drainage events and drained lake basin vegetation dynamics across the Arctic [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Widespread lake drainage can lead to large-scale drying in Arctic lake-rich areas, affecting hydrology, ecosystems and permafrost carbon dynamics. To date, the spatio-temporal distribution, driving factors, and post-drainage dynamics of lake drainage ...

The Role of Thermokarst Lake Expansion in Altering the Microbial Community and Methane Cycling in Beiluhe Basin on Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 One of the most significant environmental changes across the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the rapid lake expansion. The expansion of thermokarst lakes affects the global biogeochemical cycles and local climate regulation by rising levels, expanding area, and ...

Interaction of thermokarst lake and permafrost in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
Shui kexue jinzhan, 2022 In order to clarify the interaction of thermokarst lake and permafrost, a water-ice-heat coupling model considering heat conduction and convection processes was established at a typical thermokarst lake area in the Beiluhe Basin.

Assessing the influence of lake and watershed attributes on snowmelt bypass at thermokarst lakes [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Snow represents the largest potential source of water for thermokarst lakes, but the runoff generated by snowmelt (freshet) can flow beneath lake ice and via the outlet without mixing with and replacing pre-snowmelt lake water.
