Acceleration of thaw slump activity in glaciated landscapes of the Western Canadian Arctic (2016, background): “Retrogressive thaw slumping is a dynamic form of thermokarst that impacts sloping terrain underlain by ice-rich permafrost (Burn and Lewkowicz 1990, Robinson 2000, Jorgenson and Osterkamp 2005, Kokelj and Jorgenson 2013).”
Permafrost thaw and resulting soil moisture changes regulate projected high-latitude CO2 and CH4 emissions (2015, background): “…thermokarst activity and other thaw-related changes to the ground surface, subsurface geomorphology, surface slope and aspect, vegetation community response, and potentially several other factors (see Jorgenson and Osterkamp (2005) for discussion of some of the many complexities to be considered).”
Resilience and vulnerability of permafrost to climate change (2010, background): “2008), habitats for vegetation and wildlife (Jorgenson and Osterkamp 2005), and emissions of greenhouse gases (Christensen et al.”
