Description
Summary:Holocene. However, CH4 emissions are not well known for lakes in these regions and are not included in our thermokarst-lake CH4 emission estimate. Our calculations of CH4 emission from thermokarst lakes are based on a conservative estimate of the extent of yedoma, namely its current distribution in north Siberia and the previously exposed adjacent continental shelves (total area: 1.9 ×
