Case Studies in Thermal EngineeringThermokarst lakes are severely weakening the stability of embankments in the warm permafrost region of Siberia. To mitigate their adverse effects, two crushed-rock embankments and the filled thermokarst lakes with crushed rock are used to cool ...

Present-day permafrost carbon feedback from thermokarst lakes
, 2016 Rapid temperature rise during recent decades (IPCC 2013) is causing permafrost in the Arctic to warm and thaw. This thaw exposes previously frozen soil organic carbon (SOC) to microbial decomposition, generating greenhouse gases methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in a feedback process that leads to further warming and thaw.

Organic carbon stored in a thermokarst affected landscape on Baldwin Peninsula, Alaska [PDF]
, 2018 As Arctic warming continues and permafrost degrades, more organic carbon (OC) will be decomposed in high northern latitudes. Still, uncertainties remain in the quality and quantity of OC stored in permafrost.

A study of the large-scale climatic effects of a possible disappearance of high-latitude inland water surfaces during the 21st centurys [PDF]
, 2010 This study evaluates the climatic impact of possible future changes in high-latitude inland water surface (IWS) area. We carried out a set of climate-change experiments with an atmospheric general circulation model in which different scenarios of future ...

Massive concentrations of old dissolved organic carbon from Yedoma thaw in lakes in Siberia
Communications Earth & EnvironmentUnderstanding the impacts of permafrost thawing on the carbon cycle requires a closer look at the proportion of dissolved and particulate organic carbon released upon thaw, and the magnitude of its conversion into greenhouse gases, which remain ...
