Landsat-Based Trend Analysis of Lake Dynamics across Northern Permafrost Regions [PDF]
, 2017 Lakes are a ubiquitous landscape feature in northern permafrost regions. They have a strong impact on carbon, energy and water fluxes and can be quite responsive to climate change.

Effect of permafrost thawing on organic carbon and trace element colloidal speciation in the thermokarst lakes of western Siberia [PDF]
, 2011 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 ...

Constraining bubbling of methane from thermokarst lakes [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2013 In northern thermokarst lakes, which form in depressions left as permafrost thaws, methane, a greenhouse gas, can be released from lake sediments to the atmosphere through bubbling, or ebullition. Constraining the amount of methane released through bubbling would help scientists understand the role of thawing permafrost in the carbon cycle and global ...

A fully automatic framework for sub-pixel mapping of thermokarst lakes using Sentinel-2 images
Science of Remote Sensing, 2023 Mapping and monitoring thermokarst lakes are crucial to understanding the impact of climate change on permafrost regions and quantifying permafrost-related carbon emissions. Several automatic methods based on remote sensing images have been developed for

Permafrost hydrology in changing climatic conditions: seasonal variability of stable isotope composition in rivers in discontinuous permafrost [PDF]
, 2015 Role of changing climatic conditions on permafrost degradation and hydrology was investigated in the transition zone between the tundra and forest ecotones at the boundary of continuous and discontinuous permafrost of the lower Yenisei River.

Carbon and nitrogen pools in thermokarst-affected permafrost landscapes in Arctic Siberia [PDF]
, 2017 Ice rich Yedoma-dominated landscapes store considerable amounts of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) and are vulnerable to degradation under climate warming.

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Sediments on Arctic continental shelves are impacted by sea ice and ice‐related processes for up to 9 months per year. As a result, seabed morphology in cold regions can exhibit features such as ice scours which are absent on lower‐latitude shelves.

The chronostratigraphy of Late Pleistocene glacial and periglacial aeolian activity in the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands, NWT, Canada [PDF]
, 2006 Aeolian periglacial sand deposits are common in the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands of Western Arctic Canada. Regionally extensive and thick aeolian sand-sheet deposits have been observed in two major stratigraphic settings: within a sand unit characterized by ...
