TL;DR: Climate change strongly impacts regions in high latitudes and altitudes that store high amounts of carbon in yet frozen ground, and the authors show that the consequence of these changes is global warming of permafrost at depths greater than 10 m in the Northern Hemisphere, in mountains, and in Antarctica.

TL;DR: The results of the International Permafrost Association's TSP project are presented in this article based on field measurements from Russia during the IPY years (2007-09) and collected historical data.

TL;DR: In this article, an equilibrium state model for the temperature at the top of the permafrost (TTOP model) for the 2000-2016 period, driven by remotely-sensed land surface temperatures, down-scaled ERA-Interim climate reanalysis data, tundra wetness classes and landcover map from the ESA Landcover Climate Change Initiative (CCI), was employed.

TL;DR: The State of the Climate for 2013 as discussed by the authors is a very low-resolution file and it can be downloaded in a few minutes for a high-resolution version of the report to download.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review how Arctic and boreal ecosystem processes influence thermal dynamics in permafrost soil and how these linkages may evolve in response to climate change, and show that changes in vegetation and ecosystem distribution will lead to regional and global biophysical and biogeochemical climate feedbacks that may compound or offset local impacts.
