Threshold sensitivity of shallow Arctic lakes and sublake permafrost to changing winter climate

Threshold sensitivity of shallow Arctic lakes and sublake permafrost to changing winter climate

Abstract Interactions and feedbacks between abundant surface waters and permafrost fundamentally shape lowland Arctic landscapes. Sublake permafrost is maintained when the maximum ice thickness (MIT) exceeds lake depth and mean annual bed temperatures (MABTs) remain below freezing. However, declinin...
