Abstract Abrupt permafrost thaw events are projected to contribute up to 40% of permafrost carbon (C) release to the atmosphere. They involve sudden hydrological shifts within the soil column; however, the exact microbial functional pathway shifts induced by these events remain cryptic. To investigate how C and nutrient cycling processes differ in thaw

Accelerating thermokarst lake changes on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
Abstract As 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 cycle, hydrology process and the stability of the Qinghai-Tibet Engineering Corridor.

The evolution of methane production rates from young to mature thermokarst lakes [PDF]
Thermokarst lakes, formed by permafrost thaw in the Arctic, are hotspots for methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and are expected to double permafrost carbon emissions by the end of the century.

Issues Related to Incorporating Northern Peatlands into Global Climate Models [PDF]
Northern peatlands cover ~3–4 million km2 (~10% of the land north of 45°N) and contain ~200–400 Pg carbon (~10–20% of total global soil carbon), almost entirely as peat (organic soil).

The Arctic Coastal Erosion Model: Overview, Developments, and Calibration at Drew Point, Alaska
Abstract Permafrost coastlines are experiencing significant erosion as polar amplification has enhanced the effects of climate change in the Arctic. Warmer temperatures are increasing thermo‐denudation and more energetic oceans are increasing thermo‐abrasion in unlithified, ice‐bonded permafrost coastlines which comprise at least 40% of the circum ...

Abstract Arctic lake, bay and lagoon ice regimes play a crucial role in understanding permafrost stability, hydrology, and carbon cycling in permafrost regions. This study integrates field and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from Sentinel‐1 to improve the classification of Arctic lake, bay and lagoon ice regimes, with a particular focus on the ...
