A synthesis of methane dynamics in thermokarst lake environments [PDF]
Earth-Science Reviews, 2020 Abstract Greenhouse gas emissions from physical permafrost thaw disturbance and subsidence, including the formation and expansion of thermokarst (thaw) lakes, may double the magnitude of the permafrost carbon feedback this century. These processes are not accounted for in current global climate models.

Thermokarst-lake methanogenesis along a complete talik profile [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 Abstract. Thermokarst (thaw) lakes emit methane (CH4) to the atmosphere formed from thawed permafrost organic matter (OM), but the relative magnitude of CH4 production in surface lake sediments vs. deeper thawed permafrost horizons is not well understood.

Limnological evolution of Zelma Lake, a recently drained thermokarst lake in Old Crow Flats (Yukon, Canada) [PDF]
Arctic Science, 2017 Evidence from remote sensing studies suggests that the frequency of thermokarst lake drainage events is increasing in response to climate change, but the consequences of these changes on the limnology of remaining waterbodies remain unknown.

Monitoring Thermokarst Lake Drainage Dynamics in Northeast Siberian Coastal Tundra [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2023 Thermokarst lakes in permafrost regions are highly dynamic due to drainage events triggered by climate warming. This study focused on mapping lake drainage events across the Northeast Siberian coastal tundra from 2000 to 2020 and identifying influential ...

Methane production controls in a young thermokarst lake formed by abrupt permafrost thaw. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2022 Data on sediment porewater, incubation experiments, and bubble samples, retrieved from ‘Big Trail Lake’, a young thermokarst lake 8 km north of Fairbanks, Alaska (64°55'9.47"N, 147°49'20.08"W).

Roles of Thermokarst Lakes in a Warming World [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2020 Permafrost covers a quarter of the northern hemisphere land surface and contains twice the amount of carbon that is currently present in the atmosphere. Future climate change is expected to reduce its near-surface cover by over 90% by the end of the 21st century, leading to thermokarst lake formation.
