Here we quantify the abundance and distribution of three primary permafrost region disturbances (PRD; lakes and their dynamics, wildfires, retrogressive thaw slumps) using trend analysis of 30-m resolution Landsat imagery from 1999-2014 and auxiliary datasets. The dataset spans four continental-scal...
