Knowledge of soils in the permafrost region has advanced immensely in recent decades,
despite the remoteness and inaccessibility of most of the region and the sampling limitations …

Permafrost is a distinct feature of the terrestrial Arctic and is vulnerable to climate warming.
Permafrost degrades in different ways, including deepening of a seasonally unfrozen …

Soils and other unconsolidated deposits in the northern circumpolar permafrost region store
large amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC). This SOC is potentially vulnerable to …

Northern high-latitude rivers are major conduits of carbon from land to coastal seas and the
Arctic Ocean. Arctic warming is promoting terrestrial permafrost thaw and shifting hydrologic …

Permafrost coasts in the Arctic are susceptible to a variety of changing environmental factors
all of which currently point to increasing coastal erosion rates and mass fluxes of sediment …

We present an approach to estimate the feedback from large-scale thawing of permafrost
soils using a simplified, data-constrained model that combines three elements: soil carbon …

Estimates for circumpolar permafrost organic carbon (OC) storage suggest that this pool
contains twice the amount of current atmospheric carbon. The Yedoma region sequestered …

High-latitude soils store vast amounts of perennially frozen and therefore inert organic
matter. With rising global temperatures and consequent permafrost degradation, a part of …

High-latitude terrestrial ecosystems are key components in the global carbon cycle. The
Northern Circumpolar Soil Carbon Database (NCSCD) was developed to quantify stocks of …

The analysis of grain-size distributions has a long tradition in Quaternary Science and
disciplines studying Earth surface and subsurface deposits. The decomposition of multi …
