From documentation to prediction: raising the bar for thermokarst research

A documented increase of thermokarst has raised many concerns about impacts on local infrastructure and feedbacks on the global carbon cycle through decomposition of newly thawed organic matter. These concerns have led to an increase in research on the controls on and impacts of permafrost thaw and...

Zusammenfassung:	A documented increase of thermokarst has raised many concerns about impacts on local infrastructure and feedbacks on the global carbon cycle through decomposition of newly thawed organic matter. These concerns have led to an increase in research on the controls on and impacts of permafrost thaw and resulting thermokarst activity.
