Effects of Surface Characteristics on the Existence of Isolated Permafrost in Northeastern Mongolia
ABSTRACT Isolated patches of permafrost, where ground thermal changes are affected by ecosystem factors such as vegetation cover rather than climate, may be vulnerable to environmental disturbances in semiarid regions. However, the impacts of ecosystem factors remain underevaluated in Mongolia.

Organic carbon characteristics in yedoma and thermokarst deposits on Baldwin Peninsula, West-Alaska [PDF]
As Arctic warming continues and permafrost thaws, more soil and sedimentary organic carbon (OC) will be decomposed in northern high latitudes. Still, uncertainties remain in the quantity and quality of OC stored in different deposit types of permafrost ...

Arctic warming alters regional hydrological systems, as permafrost thaw increases active layer thickness and in turn alters the pathways of water flow through the landscape.

Lacustrine thermokarst is receiving great interest as a landscape-forming process. Despite this, research dealing with the quantitative analysis of the changes in the morphological patterns of thermokarst plains under ongoing climate change is lacking ...

ABSTRACT The Nacho Nyäk Tagé (Stewart River) watershed in central Yukon (Canada) is characterized by discontinuous permafrost that is locally highly sensitive to thaw. This study aims to map the spatial distribution of permafrost terrain disturbances (PTDs) in the watershed and model thaw susceptibility to support community‐led land‐use planning by the

Abstract Northern permafrost regions contain vast frozen stores of organic carbon that are vulnerable to thaw and mobilization. While considerable attention has been paid to carbon export from large Arctic rivers, gaps remain in characterizing dissolved organic matter (DOM) quality and export in permafrost influenced catchments that contain a mosaic of

Effect of permafrost thawing on organic carbon and trace element colloidal speciation in the thermokarst lakes of western Siberia [PDF]
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 ...
