Reviews and syntheses: Effects of permafrost thaw on Arctic aquatic ecosystems
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 same time modifying the existing lakes, streams, and rivers that are impacted by thaw. Here, we describe the current state of knowledge regarding how permafrost thaw affects lentic (still) and lotic (moving) systems,...
متن کاملMethane bubbling from northern lakes: present and future contributions to the global methane budget.
Large uncertainties in the budget of atmospheric methane (CH4) limit the accuracy of climate change projections. Here we describe and quantify an important source of CH4 -- point-source ebullition (bubbling) from northern lakes -- that has not been incorporated in previous regional or global methane budgets. Employing a method recently introduced to measure ebullition more accurately by taking ...
متن کاملDistribution and diversity of diatom assemblages in surficial sediments of shallow lakes in Wapusk National Park (Manitoba, Canada) region of the Hudson Bay Lowlands
The hydrology of shallow lakes (and ponds) located in the western Hudson Bay Lowlands (HBL) is sensitive to climate warming and associated permafrost thaw. However, their biological characteristics are poorly known, which hampers effective aquatic ecosystem monitoring. Located in northern Manitoba along the southwestern coast of Hudson Bay, Wapusk National Park (WNP) encompasses numerous shallo...
متن کاملFacies analysis of yedoma thermokarst lakes on the northern Seward Peninsula
18 Thermokarst lakes develop as a result of the thaw and collapse of ice-rich, permanently 19 frozen ground (permafrost). Of particular sedimentological importance are thermokarst 20 lakes forming in late Pleistocene icy silt (yedoma), which dramatically alter the land 21 *Manuscript Click here to download Manuscript: Farquharson text revised_clean.docx Click here to view linked References
متن کاملAlaskan Permafrost Groundwater Storage Changes Derived from GRACE and Ground Measurements
The Arctic is in transition from climate-driven thawing of permafrost. We investigate satellite-derived water equivalent mass changes, snow water equivalent with in situ measurements of runoff and ground-survey derived geoid models from 1999 through 2009. The Alaskan Arctic coastal plain groundwater storage (including wetland bog, thaw pond and lake) is increasing by 1.15 ± 0.65 km 3 /a (area-a...
