  • Post-drainage vegetation, microtopography and organic matter in Arctic drained lake basins

    Open AccessJuliane Wolter, Benjamin M Jones et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Wetlands in Arctic drained lake basins (DLBs) have a high potential for carbon storage in vegetation and peat as well as for elevated greenhouse gas emissions. However, the evolution of vegetation and organic matter is rarely studied in DLBs, making these abundant wetlands especially uncertain elements of the permafrost carbon budget. We surveyed multiple DLB generations in northern Alaska with the goal to assess vegetation, microtopography, and …

  • HELiPOD—Revolution and evolution of a helicopter-borne measurement system for multidisciplinary research in demanding environments

    Open AccessFalk Pätzold, Lutz Bretschneider et al.ARTICLEElementa Science of the…2023

    The helicopter-borne measurement system HELiPOD is a platform for atmospheric and other environmental measurements to investigate local and regional phenomena. It can be operated in remote areas, as from a research vessel with a helicopter, without the need for a runway. This article presents the current design concept, technical details, and sensor package of HELiPOD, which was completely renewed for the deployment during the MOSAiC (Multidiscip…

  • Diel, seasonal, and inter-annual variation in carbon dioxide effluxes from lakes and reservoirs

    Open AccessMałgorzata Gołub, Nikaan Koupaei‐Abyazani et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Accounting for temporal changes in carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) effluxes from freshwaters remains a challenge for global and regional carbon budgets. Here, we synthesize 171 site-months of flux measurements of CO 2 based on the eddy covariance method from 13 lakes and reservoirs in the Northern Hemisphere, and quantify dynamics at multiple temporal scales. We found pronounced sub-annual variability in CO 2 flux at all sites. By accounting for diel vari…

  • Overview of the MosaiC expedition

    Open AccessMatthew D Shupe, Markus Rex et al.ARTICLEElementa Science of the…2022

    With the Arctic rapidly changing, the needs to observe, understand, and model the changes are essential. To support these needs, an annual cycle of observations of atmospheric properties, processes, and interactions were made while drifting with the sea ice across the central Arctic during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition from October 2019 to September 2020. An international team desig…

  • A decade of remotely sensed observations highlight complex processes linked to coastal permafrost bluff erosion in the Arctic

    Open AccessBenjamin M Jones, Benjamin Jones et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Author: Jones, Benjamin M et al.; Genre: Journal Article; Finally published : 2018; Open Access; Title: A decade of remotely sensed observations highlight complex processes linked to coastal permafrost bluff erosion in the Arctic

  • A synthesis of the arctic terrestrial and marine carbon cycles under pressure from a dwindling cryosphere

    Open AccessFrans-Jan W Parmentier, Frans‐Jan W Parmentier et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2017References: 126

    The current downturn of the arctic cryosphere, such as the strong loss of sea ice, melting of ice sheets and glaciers, and permafrost thaw, affects the marine and terrestrial carbon cycles in numerous interconnected ways. Nonetheless, processes in the ocean and on land have been too often considered in isolation while it has become increasingly clear that the two environments are strongly connected: Sea ice decline is one of the main causes of th…
