Abstract In the lake‐rich tundra uplands east of the Mackenzie Delta, almost one in ten lakes has been affected by retrogressive thaw slumping. In this study, we assessed water chemistry for 34 slump‐affected and 39 undisturbed upland lakes across this region and found that environmental factors typ...
