Where present, permafrost exerts a primary control on water fluxes, flowpaths, and
distribution. Climate warming and related drivers of soil thermal change are expected to …

Terrestrial hydrology is central to the Arctic system and its freshwater circulation. Water
transport and water constituents vary, however, across a very diverse geography. In this …

Recently, there has been a revival in the development of models simulating coupled heat
and water transport in cold regions. These models represent significant advances in our …

Climate change is expected to increase regional and global air temperatures and
significantly alter precipitation regimes. These projected changes in meteorological …

Permafrost thaw due to climate warming modifies hydrological processes by increasing
hydrological connectivity between aquifers and surface water bodies and increasing …

Measurements of active layer thickness (ALT) are typically taken at the end of summer, a
time synonymous with maximum thaw depth. By definition, the active layer is the layer above …

Recent climate change has reduced the spatial extent and thickness of permafrost in many
discontinuous permafrost regions. Rapid permafrost thaw is producing distinct landscape …

The need to understand potential climate impacts and feedbacks in Arctic regions has
prompted recent interest in modeling of permafrost dynamics in a warming climate. A new …

Seasonally frozen ground (SFG) and permafrost underlay approximately half of the land
surface in the Northern Hemisphere. It is anticipated that climate warming will degrade both …

Palsas and peat plateaus are permafrost landforms occurring in subarctic mires which
constitute sensitive ecosystems with strong significance for vegetation, wildlife, hydrology …
