Science Highlights
Local-Scale Variability of Soil Temperatures and Controlling Factors in a Discontinuous Permafrost Region
June 24th, 2024
Spatial variability in mean annual soil temperatures is primarily influenced by the thermal decoupling between air- and ground-surface temperature in winter.
Estimating Permafrost Distribution and its Covariability with Landscape Characteristics
March 31st, 2024
Combined temperature and electrical resistivity measurements show the distribution of permafrost and how it is related to topographic position and vegetation.
Ground Subsidence in Arctic Tundra is Unlikely to Trigger Abrupt Thaw
December 31st, 2023
Drying of tundra landscapes will limit subsidence-induced acceleration of permafrost thaw.
