Journal ArticleDOI
Characterizing the role of hydrological processes on lake water balances in the Old Crow Flats, Yukon Territory, Canada, using water isotope tracers.
TL;DR: In this paper, water isotope tracers were used to assess hydrological processes controlling lake water balances in the Old Crow Flats (OCF) landscape, northern Yukon Territory, Canada.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in lake area in response to thermokarst processes and climate in Old Crow Flats, Yukon
Trevor C. Lantz,Kevin W. Turner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the dynamics of lake area and number in Old Crow Flats (OCF), Yukon using historical air photos and satellite imagery were investigated. And the authors found that catastrophic lake drainages have become more than 5 times more frequent in recent decades.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vulnerability of shallow subarctic lakes to evaporate and desiccate when snowmelt runoff is low
Frédéric Bouchard,Frédéric Bouchard,Kevin W. Turner,Kevin W. Turner,Lauren A. MacDonald,C. Deakin,Hilary White,Nicole Farquharson,Andrew S. Medeiros,Brent B. Wolfe,Roland I. Hall,Reinhard Pienitz,Thomas W. D. Edwards +12 more
TL;DR: This article used lake water isotope data across gradients of terrestrial vegetation cover (open tundra to closed forest) and topographic relief to identify lakes that are vulnerable to desiccation under conditions of low snowmelt runoff in two subarctic landscapes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controls on water balance of shallow thermokarst lakes and their relations with catchment characteristics: a multi‐year, landscape‐scale assessment based on water isotope tracers and remote sensing in Old Crow Flats, Yukon (Canada)
Kevin W. Turner,Kevin W. Turner,Brent B. Wolfe,Thomas W. D. Edwards,Trevor C. Lantz,Roland I. Hall,Guillaume Larocque +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a combination of remote sensing imagery and monitoring of stable isotope compositions of lake waters over three thaw seasons (2007, 2008 and 2009) to investigate the hydrological behavior of lakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paleolimnology of thermokarst lakes: a window into permafrost landscape evolution
Frédéric Bouchard,Lauren A. MacDonald,Kevin W. Turner,Joshua R. Thienpont,Andrew S. Medeiros,Boris K. Biskaborn,Jennifer B. Korosi,Roland I. Hall,Reinhard Pienitz,Brent B. Wolfe +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that thermokarst ponds and lakes provide vital wildlife habitat and play a key role in biogeochemical processes in northern permafrost landscapes.
