Thermokarst lagoons develop in permafrost lowlands along the ice-rich Arctic coast when thermokarst lakes or basins with bottom elevations at or below sea level are breached by the sea due to erosion, sea-level rise, or connection via drainage channels. Thermokarst lagoons, as dynamic landforms at t...
