  • Thawing permafrost is subsiding in the Northern Hemisphere—review and perspectives

    Open AccessD A Streletskiy, Alexey A Maslakov et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    High-latitude and altitude cold regions are affected by climate warming and permafrost degradation. One of the major concerns associated with degrading permafrost is thaw subsidence (TS) due to melting of excess ground ice and associated thaw consolidation. Field observations, remote sensing, and numerical modeling are used to measure and estimate the extent and rates of TS across broad spatial and temporal scales. Our new data synthesis effort f…

  • The costs of Arctic infrastructure damages due to permafrost degradation

    Open AccessD A Streletskiy, Sonia Clemens et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Climate change has adverse impacts on Arctic natural ecosystems and threatens northern communities by disrupting subsistence practices, limiting accessibility, and putting built infrastructure at risk. In this paper, we analyze spatial patterns of permafrost degradation and associated risks to built infrastructure due to loss of bearing capacity and thaw subsidence in permafrost regions of the Arctic. Using a subset of three Coupled Model Interco…

  • Long-term Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (Calm) program observations in Northern Alaskan tundra

    Kelsey E Nyland, Nikolay I Shiklomanov et al.ARTICLEPolar Geography2021

    The Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) network is an ongoing international effort to collect and disseminate standardized measurements of active-layer dynamics to monitor the response of near-surface permafrost parameters to climate change. This work presents a distillation of 25 years (1995–2019) of observations from three north–south transects of CALM sites in tundra environments of Alaska. Transects examined in this work bisect tundra …

  • Permafrost degradation in the Western Russian Arctic

    Open AccessAlexander Vasiliev, Dmitry Drozdov et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    The Global Climate Observing System and Global Terrestrial Observing Network have identified permafrost as an ‘Essential Climate Variable,’ for which ground temperature and active layer dynamics are key variables. This work presents long-term climate, and permafrost monitoring data at seven sites representative of diverse climatic and environmental conditions in the western Russian Arctic. The region of interest is experiencing some of the highes…

  • Permafrost is warming at a global scale

    Open AccessBoris K Biskaborn, Sharon L Smith et al.ARTICLENature Communications2019

    Permafrost warming has the potential to amplify global climate change, because when frozen sediments thaw it unlocks soil organic carbon. Yet to date, no globally consistent assessment of permafrost temperature change has been compiled. Here we use a global data set of permafrost temperature time series from the Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost to evaluate temperature change across permafrost regions for the period since the Internationa…

  • Assessment of climate change impacts on buildings, structures and infrastructure in the Russian regions on permafrost

    Open AccessD A Streletskiy, Luis Suter et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Russian regions containing permafrost play an important role in the Russian economy, containing vast reserves of natural resources and hosting large-scale infrastructure to facilitate these resources’ exploitation. Rapidly changing climatic conditions are a major concern for the future economic development of these regions. This study examines the extent to which infrastructure and housing are affected by permafrost in Russia and estimates the as…

  • Assessment of the cost of climate change impacts on critical infrastructure in the circumpolar Arctic

    Luis Suter, D A Streletskiy et al.ARTICLEPolar Geography2019

    The Arctic is experiencing pronounced climatic and environmental changes. These changes pose a risk to infrastructure, impacting the accessibility and development of remote locations and adding additional pressures on local and regional budgets. This study estimates the costs of fixed infrastructure affected by climate change impacts in the Arctic region, specifically on the impacts of permafrost thaw. Geotechnical models are forced by climate da…

  • Climatic- and anthropogenic-induced land cover change around Norilsk, Russia

    Kelsey E Nyland, Nikolay I Shiklomanov et al.ARTICLEPolar Geography2017

    Increasing atmospheric temperatures over the last 30 years has prompted land cover change in sensitive Arctic environments and exacerbated change in large urban-industrial centers on permafrost. Norilsk, Russia, the largest city built on permafrost north of the Arctic Circle, has a long history of development and industrial activity providing an opportunity to evaluate the climatic- and anthropogenic-induced land cover change. Land cover changes …

  • Conquering the permafrost

    Nikolay I Shiklomanov, D A Streletskiy et al.ARTICLEPolar Geography2017

    The city of Norilsk represents an unprecedented case of massive construction in the permafrost regions of the Arctic. Norilsk’s urban expansion can be attributed to the development of engineering practices that maintained the thermal stability of permafrost. However, complex interactions between the urban landscape and permafrost have resulted in permafrost warming and degradation. Negative cryogenic processes started to manifest themselves 10–15…

  • Climate Change and Stability of Urban Infrastructure in Russian Permafrost Regions

    Open AccessNikolay I Shiklomanov, D A Streletskiy et al.ARTICLEGeographical Review2017Cited by: 7References: 22

    One of the most significant climate change impacts on arctic urban landscapes is the warming and degradation of permafrost, which negatively affects the structural integrity of infrastructure. We estimate potential changes in stability of Russian urban infrastructure built on permafrost in response to the projected climatic changes provided by six preselected General Circulation Models (GCMs) participated in the most recent Climate Model Inter‐co…

  • Traditional Iñupiat Ice Cellars (SIĠḷUAQ) in Barrow, Alaska

    Open AccessKelsey E Nyland, Anna E Klene et al.ARTICLEGeographical Review2017Cited by: 4References: 14

    Ice cellars are a natural form of refrigeration constructed within permafrost. They are traditionally employed by indigenous Arctic peoples to store harvested wildlife. Recent reports from Alaska indicate that ice cellars are "failing" through mechanisms that include flooding and collapse, which are often attributed to climate change. In cooperation with local stakeholders, we instrumented five cellars to record internal air temperature in Barrow…

  • Permafrost hydrology in changing climatic conditions

    Open AccessD A Streletskiy, Nikita Tananaev et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    Role of changing climatic conditions on permafrost degradation and hydrology was investigated in the transition zone between the tundra and forest ecotones at the boundary of continuous and discontinuous permafrost of the lower Yenisei River. Three watersheds of various sizes were chosen to represent the characteristics of the regional landscape conditions. Samples of river flow, precipitation, snow cover, and permafrost ground ice were collected…

  • Changes in the 1963–2013 shallow ground thermal regime in Russian permafrost regions

    Open AccessD A Streletskiy, Artem B Sherstiukov et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    Spatial variability and temporal trends of the shallow ground thermal regime and permafrost activelayer thickness (ALT) were estimated over 1963-2013 using daily soil temperature data available from stations of the Russian Hydrometeorological Service. Correlation analysis was used to evaluate the role of changing climatic conditions on the ground thermal regime. ALT data collected by the Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring program in Russia were …

  • Spatial variability of permafrost active-layer thickness under contemporary and projected climate in Northern Alaska

    D A Streletskiy, Nikolay I Shiklomanov et al.ARTICLEPolar Geography2012

    The active layer plays an important role in the functioning of environmental ecosystems and affects many human activities in the polar regions. Regional assessments and predictions of this parameter are critical for many physical and social applications. Large heterogeneity in near-surface permafrost characteristics, including the active layer, even over small distances, creates serious constraints to their evaluation across large geographic exte…
