We modeled the thermal balance between groundwater discharge and ice-free areas in the Tanana River near Fairbanks, Alaska, a region that is characterized by discontinuous permafrost. Under degrading permafrost conditions, these areas have been hypothesized to have increased winter discharge due to...
