Thermokarst lake changes over the past 40 years in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, China

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Comparison of hydrogeochemical characteristics of thermokarst lake water in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau under active layer freeze–thaw conditions

open access: yesJournal of Water and Climate Change, 2022
With the gradual increase of global temperature, thermokarst lakes are widely developed and become major environmental disasters in the Tundra Plateau which have impacted the stability of the project such as the Qinghai–Tibetan highway.

Organic carbon content in degrading permafrost beneath expanding thermokarst lakes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Arctic lakes are globally significant sources of methane, resulting from anaerobic decomposition of thawed organic matter in lake bottoms. We examined patterns of permafrost degradation near thermokarst lakeshores in the tundra of Old Crow Flats, a 5600 ...

Seasonal patterns in greenhouse gas emissions from different types of thermokarst lakes in Central Yakutia (Eastern Siberia) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
International audienceIn the ice‐rich permafrost area of Central Yakutia (Eastern Siberia, Russia), climate warming and other natural and anthropogenic disturbances have caused permafrost degradation and soil subsidence, resulting in the formation of ...

Contrasted geomorphological and limnological properties of thermokarst lakes formed in buried glacier ice and ice-wedge polygon terrain [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2022
In formerly glaciated permafrost regions, extensive areas are still underlain by a considerable amount of glacier ice buried by glacigenic sediments. It is expected that large parts of glacier ice buried in the permafrost will melt in the near future ...

Identifying thermokarst lakes using deep learning and high-resolution satellite images

open access: yesScience of Remote Sensing
Thermokarst lakes play a critical role in hydrologic connectivity, permafrost stability, and carbon exchange from local to regional scales. Due to the typically small sizes and highly dynamic nature of thermokarst lakes, their identification in large ...

The evolution of the ecosystems of thermokarst lakes of the Bolshezemelskaya tundra in the context of climate change [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2019
In the conditions of climate warming, the thawing of permafrost can provoke the formation of new thermokarst lakes and subsidence, which facilitates the removal of organic matter from thawed peat into natural waters.

Geochemical, sedimentological and microbial diversity in two thermokarst lakes of far Eastern Siberia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Thermokarst lakes are important conduits for organic carbon sequestration, soil organic matter (soil-OM) decomposition and release of atmospheric greenhouse gases in the Arctic. They can be classified as either floating-ice lakes, which sustain a zone of
