Saline Permafrost and Cryopegs as Potentially Important Sources of CO2—Assessing Organic Carbon Mineralization Potentials on the Alaskan Coastal Plain

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Incubation experiments reveal that potentially carbon‐rich saline permafrost and cryopegs from Arctic coastal plains exhibit CO2 production potentials comparable to active layers. This could substantially shift greenhouse gas balances, as salinity is currently not accounted for in permafrost carbon assessments.

Thermokarst-lake methanogenesis along a complete talik (thaw bulb) profile [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Thermokarst (thaw) lakes emit methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, with the carbon (C) originating from terrestrial sources such as the Holocene soils of the lakes’ watersheds, thaw of Holocene- and Pleistoceneaged permafrost soil beneath and surrounding the

n-Alkanes, total organic carbon content, radiocarbon ages, grain size distribution, biogeochemical and hydrochemical parameters of sediment core beneath thermokarst lake Goltsovoye Lake on the Bykovsky Pensinula, northeastern Siberia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
These datasets describe a 31.5 m long sediment core taken from beneath thermokarst lake Goltsovoye Lake (71.74515 N, 129.30217 E) on the Bykovsky Peninsula, northeastern Siberia. The thermokarst lake was 510 cm deep.

Small‐Scale Spatial Variability in Carbon Fluxes Driven by Soil and Vegetation Characteristics in Wetlands of Trail Valley Creek, Canada

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The microtopography of the Arctic tundra and the associated soil moisture (SM) gradient influence the net ecosystem‐atmosphere exchange of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). To quantify fine‐scale variability in a permafrost ecosystem, we measured growing‐season carbon fluxes with closed chambers at Trail Valley Creek, Canada from 2022 to

Does Palsa Thaw in Northern Finland Contribute to Remobilisation of Metals Accumulated in Peat Into Surface Waters?

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 4230-4250, 30 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Permafrost is rapidly degrading in the sporadic zone, including palsa mires in Scandinavia. Peatlands in the area have likely accumulated heavy metals from atmospheric deposition of industrial contaminants in the wider region. As the palsa mire chemical composition is not well known, and in other permafrost regions the permafrost thaw may ...

Microbial controls on the fate of methane along a thermokarst lake to lagoon transition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from abrupt thaw beneath thermokarst lakes were projected to at least double radiative forcing from circumpolar permafrost-soil carbon fluxes by the end of this century, primarily through the release of methane, a much ...

Seafloor Sediments, Morphologic Features, and Geotechnical Properties of Harrison Bay in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Sediments on Arctic continental shelves are impacted by sea ice and ice‐related processes for up to 9 months per year. As a result, seabed morphology in cold regions can exhibit features such as ice scours which are absent on lower‐latitude shelves.

Thermokarst lake monitoring on the Bykovsky Peninsula using high-resolution remote sensing data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Thermokarst lakes are a characteristic element of arctic permafrost regions and an indicator for their rapid landscape changes. Assessing their dynamics contributes to the understanding of driving processes of change, to the evaluation of impacts on ...
