Maps of ice wedge thermokarst pool expansion from twenty-seven circumpolar survey areas
This repository includes data and code to accompany the manuscript 'Topography controls variability in circumpolar permafrost thaw pond expansion' by Abolt et al. The data... -
DARTS: Multi-year database of AI detected retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS) and active layer detachment slides (ALD)...
This dataset, called DARTS, comprises footprints of retrogressive thaw slump (RTS) and active layer detachments slides (ALD) identified and quantified using an automated deep... -
Dataset of a globally relevant stock of soil nitrogen in the Yedoma permafrost domain, 1998-2016, Circum-Arctic
This dataset merges nitrogen data from the Yedoma domain. It includes numerous fieldwork campaigns, which take place since 1998. In total 467 samples from the active layer... -
Database of Ice-Rich Yedoma Permafrost Version 2 (IRYP v2)
Ice-rich permafrost in the circum-Arctic and sub-Arctic, such as late Pleistocene Yedoma, are especially prone to degradation due to climate change or human activity. When... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
