The ice-and organic-rich permafrost of the northeast Siberian Arctic lowlands (NESAL) has
been projected to remain stable beyond 2100, even under pessimistic climate warming …

Coastal wetlands, such as saltmarshes and mangroves that fringe transitional waters,
deliver important ecosystem services that support human development. Coastal wetlands …

Climate warming threatens to destabilize vast northern permafrost areas, potentially
releasing large quantities of organic carbon that could further disrupt the climate. Here we …

Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of thermokarst, and accelerating
the delivery of terrestrial organic material from previously sequestered sources to aquatic …

Greenhouse gas emissions from physical permafrost thaw disturbance and subsidence,
including the formation and expansion of thermokarst (thaw) lakes, may double the …

The degradation of ice-rich permafrost deposits has the potential to release large amounts of
