Standardized monitoring of permafrost thaw: a user-friendly, multi-parameter protocol
Climate change is destabilizing permafrost landscapes, affecting infrastructure, ecosystems and human livelihoods. The rate of permafrost thaw is controlled by surface and subsurface properties and processes, all of which are potentially linked with each other. Yet, no standardized protocol exists f...
