Current warming, sea-level rise, coastal erosion and accelerated permafrost thaw is leading to increasing thermokarst lagoon formation along wide parts of the arctic coast. Entering seawater affects the temperature and salinity of former thermokarst lake taliks during their transition to the marine...
