Ice, water, fire: Changes in the permafrost landscape of central Yakutia, 2000-2011
The focus of this research has been on detecting changes in lakes vegetation, land surface temperatures, and snow cover, using data from remote sensing. The study area covers the main (central) part of the Lena River catchment in the Yakutia Region of Siberia (Russia) where continuous permafrost cov...
