| Summary: | Data description This dataset is part of the supplemental information to the paper "Rapid Ice-Wedge Collapse and Permafrost Carbon Loss Triggered by Increased Snow Depth and Surface Runoff" by Parmentier et al. (2024). It includes the analysis of water quality in and around a thermo-erosion gully on the high-Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, and three satellite images that give an overview of the wider area around this gully in the context of a snow fence experiment (Cooper et al. 2011). More details are provided in Parmentier et al. (2024). Background Thicker snow cover in permafrost areas causes deeper active layers and thaw subsidence, which alter local hydrology and may amplify the loss of soil carbon. However, the potential for changes in snow cover and surface runoff to mobilize permafrost carbon remains poorly quantified. The data presented here is part of a study that showed that a snow fence experiment on High-Arctic Svalbard inadvertently led to surface subsidence through warming, and extensive ... |
