Post-disturbance ice-wedge degradation in Alaskan tundra fire scars using space-for-time substitution remote sensing
The severity and frequency of tundra fires in Arctic permafrost landscapes is expected to increase with ongoing climate change. By burning the insulating organic layer of soils, tundra fires impact the soil thermal regime for underlying permafrost and can accelerate thaw in the years following the burn. In this paper, we address the scarcity of long-term studies on post-fire permafrost degradation in ice-wedge landscapes by using a space-for-time…

Transformational job-policies as pathways to a degrowth future in tourism? Understanding the workers’ perspective
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted that it will only be possible to move towards a sustainable transformation in tourism, if path dependencies rooted in neoliberal growth-oriented economies are addressed. A central transformative component is the labour market and the decoupling of work from the pursuit of economic growth. The aim of this study is to contribute to the tourism degrowth debate by elucidating the often-neglected perspective of worker…
Covid-19 as a paradigm shift? Insights from the degrowth debate in tourism
For years, Barcelona has been a city torn between economic success in tourism through increasing numbers of tourists and protest against the rising pressure on the city due to tourism. Resistance to the increasing social and ecological pressure exerted by intensive tourism in the city grew especially in the last ten years prior to the COVID- 19 pandemic, and voices emerged that actively demanded a degrowth transition of the tourism sector. This p…
Climate change reduces winter overland travel across the Pan-Arctic even under low-end global warming scenarios
Amplified climate warming has led to permafrost degradation and a shortening of the winter season, both impacting cost-effective overland travel across the Arctic. Here we use, for the first time, four state-of-the-art Land Surface Models that explicitly consider ground freezing states, forced by a subset of bias-adjusted CMIP5 General Circulation Models to estimate the impact of different global warming scenarios (RCP2.6, 6.0, 8.5) on two modes …
Sensitivity of ecosystem-protected permafrost under changing boreal forest structures
Boreal forests efficiently insulate underlying permafrost. The magnitude of this insulation effect is dependent on forest density and composition. A change therein modifies the energy and water fluxes within and below the canopy. The direct influence of climatic change on forests and the indirect effect through a change in permafrost dynamics lead to extensive ecosystem shifts such as a change in composition or density, which will, in turn, affec…
