Carbon emission from thermokarst lakes in
Limnology and Oceanography, 2020 AbstractEmission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from inland waters is recognized as highly important and an understudied part of the terrestrial carbon (C) biogeochemical cycle. These emissions are still poorly quantified in subarctic regions that contain vast amounts of surface C in permafrost peatlands.

Simulating thermokarst lakes [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2012 Thermokarst lakes, which form from thawing permafrost, alter landscapes and hydrology and can release significant amounts of methane to the atmosphere. To learn more about the dynamics of thermokarst lakes, Kessler et al. created a three‐dimensional numerical model of these lakes that includes the surrounding topography.

Geographic and seasonal variation of dissolved methane and aerobic methane oxidation in Alaskan lakes [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 Methanotrophic bacteria play an important role oxidizing a significant fraction of methane (CH4) produced in lakes. Aerobic CH4 oxidation depends mainly on lake CH4 and oxygen (O2) concentrations, in such a manner that higher MO rates are usually found ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Global warming is accelerating permafrost thaw, forming new thermokarst lakes and substantially influencing the old ones. However, the biological communities in thermokarst lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) are rarely studied.

The use of CORONA images in remote sensing of periglacial geomorphology: an illustration from the NE Siberian coast [PDF]
, 2005 CORONA images have been used for the mapping of periglacial features on the Bykovsky Peninsula and adjacent Khorogor Valley in northeast Siberia. Features, mapped and analysed within a geographical information system, include thermokarst depressions ...

Thermokarst lakes increased atmospheric methane levels [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2012 Ice cores taken from Greenland indicate that during the last deglaciation, approximately 10,000 years ago, increases in temperature occurred at the same times as increases in atmospheric methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The source of the increase in atmospheric methane is still debated, but it has been suggested that thermokarst lakes, which form from

Effect of permafrost thaw on CO2 and CH4 exchange in a western Alaska peatland chronosequence [PDF]
, 2014 Permafrost soils store over half of global soil carbon (C), and northern frozen peatlands store about 10% of global permafrost C. With thaw, inundation of high latitude lowland peatlands typically increases the surface-atmosphere flux of methane (CH4), a

NATURAL FACTORS OF SMALL THERMOKARST LAKES DYNAMICS INSIDE THE BOVANENKOVO GAS FIELD
Известия высших учебных заведений: Нефть и газ, 2015 This paper is dedicated to studying the causes of small thermokarst lakes number change in the territory of the Bovanenkovo gas field (Western Yamal) happened for the last 30 years.

Thermokarst lake changes over the past 40 years in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, China
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 A thermokarst lake is generally defined as a lake that occupies a closed basin and is created by the massive melting of ground ice in ice-rich permafrost regions, which has a great impact on regional hydro-ecological equilibrium and permafrost ...
