Quantifying rates of climate change in mountain regions is of considerable interest, not least
because mountains are viewed as climate “hotspots” where change can anticipate or …

Abstract Purpose of Review The Arctic has experienced the most rapid change in climate of
anywhere on Earth, and these changes are certain to drive changes in the carbon budget of …

Glaciers are currently the largest contributor to sea level rise after ocean thermal expansion,
contributing∼ 30% to the sea level budget. Global monitoring of these regions remains a …

Snow is considered a vital component in the northern climate system, however, our
understanding of the impacts of snowmelt on spring phenological shifts is still limited for high …

Arctic lakes located in permafrost regions are susceptible to catastrophic drainage. In this
study, we reconstructed historical lake drainage events on the western Arctic Coastal Plain …

Air temperature has exhibited a clear positive trend over the past several decades
throughout the arctic, including Alaska. Other variables, such as precipitation, have much …

Classifying a given landscape on the basis of its susceptibility to surface processes is a
standard procedure in low to mid-latitudes. Conversely, these procedures have hardly been …

Arctic landscapes are warming and becoming wetter due to changes in precipitation and the
timing of snowmelt which consequently alters seasonal runoff and river discharge patterns …

The ranges of black and white spruce are largely sympatric, suggesting both species have
similar climate requirements. The two species, however, are highly segregated across the …

Arctic lakes store, modify, and transport large quantities of carbon from terrestrial
environments to the atmosphere; however, the spatial and temporal relationships between …
