Mapped thermokarst ice wedge polygon patterns from WorldView-1, 2009, Ebe-Basyn-Sise Island, SW Lena Delta, Siberia (RU)
Detailed calculations of ground-ice volumes in permafrost deposits are necessary to understand and quantify the response of permafrost landscapes to thermal disturbance and... -
Database of Quaternary Deposits from Maps, East and Central Siberia (RU)
This digital database is the product of collaboration between the U.S. Geological Survey, the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research Potsdam, Foothill College... -
Ground ice maps from paleogeographic modelling approach, Canada (CA)
Ground ice melt caused by climate-induced permafrost degradation may trigger significant ecological change, damage infrastructure, and alter biogeochemical cycles. The... -
Circumpolar raster grids of permafrost extent and geohazard potential for near-future climate scenarios
One of the consequences of warming climate is rising ground temperatures and degradation of perennially frozen ground, permafrost. Thawing of near-surface permafrost can cause... -
Geochemical, lithological, and geochronological characteristics of sediment samples from Yedoma and thermokarst...
This dataset merges data from the yedoma domain in Northern Siberia (RU) and Alaska (US). It includes numerous fieldwork campaigns, which take place since 1998 . In total 224... -
Remotely-sensed Arctic Discharge Reanalysis (RADR) from discharge observations and Landsat, 1984-2018, Circum-Arctic
Arctic rivers drain ~15% of the global land surface and significantly influence local communities and economies, freshwater and marine ecosystems, and global climate. However,... -
Quantification of shoreline movements from satellite remote sensing, 1951-2011, Yukon Territory mainland coast (CA)
The Arctic is warming, but the impacts on its coasts are not well documented. To better understand the reaction of Arctic coasts to increasing environmental pressure, shoreline... -
Permafrost active layer thickness for the Northern Hemisphere, v3.0 from MODIS LST, ERA5, 1997-2019
This dataset contains permafrost active layer thickness data produced as part of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (CCI) Permafrost project. It forms... -
Annual dynamics of rapid permafrost disturbances from Landsat and Sentinel-2, 2000-2019, Northeast Siberia (RU)
Permafrost is warming globally which leads to widespread permafrost thaw. Particularly ice-rich permafrost is vulnerable to rapid thaw and erosion, impacting whole landscapes... -
Dataset for Assessing volumetric change distributions and scaling relations of thaw slumps across the Arctic
Arctic ice-rich permafrost is becoming increasingly vulnerable to terrain-altering thermokarst, and among the most rapid and dramatic of these changes are retrogressive thaw... -
