As a result of the unique geographical characteristics, pastoral lifestyle, and economic
conditions in Mongolia, its fragile natural ecosystems are highly sensitive to climate change …

Peatlands are poorly represented in global Earth system modeling frameworks. Here we
add a peatland‐specific land surface hydrology module (PEAT‐CLSM) to the Catchment …

This study introduces and evaluates a comprehensive, model-generated dataset of Northern
Hemisphere permafrost conditions at 81 km 2 resolution. Surface meteorological forcing …

Permafrost stability is significantly influenced by the thermal buffering effects of snow and
active-layer peat soils. In the warm season, peat soils act as a barrier to downward heat …

Permafrost degradation due to climate warming would potentially increase the release of
previously frozen soil carbon and change the carbon budget of the cold region ecosystem …

This report closely examines Version 7 of the NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP)
Level 4 Surface and Root Zone Soil Moisture (L4_SM) product, which was first released on …

An enhanced understanding of environmental controls on soil freeze/thaw (F/T) dynamics at
different spatial scales is critical for projecting permafrost responses to future climate …

In the northern hemisphere, terrestrial ecosystems transition from net sources of CO2 to the
atmosphere in winter to net ecosystem carbon sinks during spring. The timing (or phase) of …

Field measurements have shown that cold-season methane (CH 4) and carbon dioxide (CO
2) emissions contribute a substantial portion to the annual net carbon emissions in …

To prevent the thawing of ice-rich permafrost, it is suggested that gas should be transported
in a chilled state (below the freezing temperature) in pipelines buried in permafrost …
