Assessing the influence of lake and watershed attributes on snowmelt bypass at thermokarst lakes

TL;DR: In this paper , isotope data were used to estimate the amount of lake water replaced by freshet and to observe how the water sources of lakes changed in response to the freshet.

Modern Eastern Canadian Arctic Lake Water Isotopes Exhibit Latitudinal Patterns in Inflow Seasonality and Minimal Evaporative Enrichment

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used modern lake water isotopes (δ18O and δ2H) collected between 1994-1997 and 2017-2021 from a transect of sites spanning a Québec-to-Ellesmere Island gradient to evaluate the effects of inflow seasonality and evaporative enrichment on the lake water composition of lake water.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecosystem responses of shallow thermokarst lakes to climate-driven hydrological change: Insights from long-term monitoring of periphytic diatom community composition at Old Crow Flats (Yukon, Canada).

TL;DR: In this article , periphytic diatom community composition in biofilms accrued on artificial-substrate samplers at 14 lakes collected mostly annually during 2008-2019 CE was analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrological, meteorological, and watershed controls on the water balance of thermokarst lakes between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, Canada

TL;DR: In this article , water isotope data were used to calculate the average isotope composition of lake source water (δI) and the ratio of evaporation to inflow (E/I).

Arctic Landscapes in Transition: Responses to Thawing Permafrost

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that over the past several decades, geomorphic processes in the Arctic have been changing or intensifying due to global warming and that lakes, ponds, and wetlands appear to be more dynamic, growing in some areas, shrinking in others, and changing distribution across lowland regions.
BookDOI

Long-term environmental change in Arctic and Antarctic lakes

TL;DR: Pienitz et al. as discussed by the authors introduced the concept of high-latitude lake sediments as a proxy for high-altitude lakes and proposed a method to obtain high-level geochronology of high latitude lakes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduction in areal extent of high-latitude wetlands in response to permafrost thaw

TL;DR: In this article, model simulations suggest that the areal extent of wetlands declines when permafrost thaws, and that wetlands take up and store carbon, and release methane through the decomposition of organic matter.

Future Changes in Northern Hemisphere Snowfall

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used simulations performed with 18 coupled atmosphere-ocean global climatemodels from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5), and analyzed the Northern Hemisphere snowfall under the representative concentration pathway (RCP4.5) scenario for the period 2006 to 2100.

Methods to assess natural and anthropogenic thaw lake drainage on the western Arctic coastal plain of northern Alaska

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of Landsat multispectral scanner (MSS) imagery from the mid-1970s to Landsat 7 enhanced thematic mapper (ETM+) imagery from around 2000 shows that 50 lakes completely or partially drained over the approximately 25 year period, indicating landscape stability.
