This book provides a thorough introduction to the use of remotely sensed data for wetland
classification and mapping, as well as information on the latest technological advancements …

Amplification of global warming in Arctic and boreal regions is causing significant changes
to permafrost‐affected landscapes. The nature and extent of the change is complicated by …

Inland waters are an important component of the global carbon cycle. Although they
contribute to greenhouse gas emissions,,,,, estimates of carbon processing in these waters …

The Arctic is a water-rich region, with freshwater systems covering about 16% of the northern
permafrost landscape. Permafrost thaw creates new freshwater ecosystems, while at the …

Remote sensing has more advantages than the traditional methods of land surface water
(LSW) mapping because it is a low-cost, reliable information source that is capable of …

Reliable information about the spatial distribution of surface waters is critically important in
various scientific disciplines. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an effective way to detect …

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 …

Samoylov Island is centrally located within the Lena River Delta at 72° N, 126° E and lies
within the Siberian zone of continuous permafrost. The landscape on Samoylov Island …

Most of the world's permafrost is located in the Arctic, where its frozen organic carbon
content makes it a potentially important influence on the global climate system. The Arctic …

Long‐term fine‐scale dynamics of surface hydrology in Arctic tundra ponds (less than 1 ha)
are largely unknown; however, these small water bodies may contribute substantially to …
