Recent permafrost degradation in bogs of the James Bay area, northern Quebec, Canada

Small palsas with very thin frozen layers are present within the peat deposits east of James Bay. Most of these permafrost landforms are in an advanced stage of decay within raised bogs between 51°45′N and 55°N. Air photographs, air‐borne surveys and ground‐truthing of permafrost indicate a recent n...
