Arctic coasts are vulnerable to the effects of climate change, including rising sea levels and
the loss of permafrost, sea ice and glaciers. Assessing the influence of anthropogenic …

Methane (CH4) is produced in many natural systems that are vulnerable to change under a
warming climate, yet current CH4 budgets, as well as future shifts in CH4 emissions, have …

Net primary production (NPP) is the foundation of the oceans' ecosystems and the fisheries
they support. In the Arctic Ocean, NPP is controlled by a complex interplay of light and …

Arctic coastal erosion damages infrastructure, threatens coastal communities and releases
organic carbon from permafrost. However, the magnitude, timing and sensitivity of coastal …

Large quantities of organic carbon are stored in frozen soils (permafrost) within Arctic and
sub-Arctic regions. A warming climate can induce environmental changes that accelerate …

Climate change exacerbates permafrost thawing, resulting exceptionally intense
retrogressive thaw slump (RTS) activity in the Arctic and Third Pole. However, comparative …

The cryosphere is an important component of the global climate system. Cryospheric
components are sensitive to climate warming, and changes in the cryosphere can lead to …

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 …

The Periglacial Environment, Fourth Edition, is an authoritative overview of the world's cold,
non-glacial environments. First published in 1976 and subsequently revised in 1996 and …

As the permafrost region warms, its large organic carbon pool will be increasingly
vulnerable to decomposition, combustion, and hydrologic export. Models predict that some …
