Under the currently projected scenarios of a warming climate, discontinuous and warm permafrost in Interior Alaska is expected to experience dramatic thinning. Thermokarst ponds and lakes give evidence for permafrost thaw and, vice versa, amplify deep thaw by talik development. During the thawing pr...
