1. Evaluation of the ERA5-Land dataset for estimation of soil moisture in the permafrost region
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : The permafrost region covers a vast area of land surface on the northern hemisphere,storing large amounts of carbon. Unfortunately, climate warming leads to permafrostthaw altering the hydrothermal state of permafrost soils. Due to the remoteness of thepermafrost region, access to field measurements is restricted.

2. Surface and Subsurface Flow Connection and Dominating Runoff Mechanism in Hillslope of Tarfala, Northern Sweden.
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : The Sub artic regions are becoming increasingly important due to the effects of climate change. In northern Sweden, thawing of permafrost has led to significant increases in annual minimum flows in several catchments. READ MORE

3. Applying LPJ-GUESS on the Arctic: A model evaluation and benchmarking study
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Warming in the Arctic occurs at a much higher rate than the global average, which has a considerable impact on the Arctic terrestrial carbon cycle. Permafrost thawing can release substantial amounts of carbon, whilst tundra shrubification and tree-line advance, on the other hand, may compensate for this. READ MORE

4. Influence of permafrost disintegration on wetland carbon fluxes in Abisko, Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The northern permafrost regions are experiencing a rapid warming as surface temperatures are rising, causing a disintegration of permafrost and a deepening of the active layer (AL). This releases previously frozen carbon, making it available for decomposition by microbes. READ MORE

5. Traits of peat- and upland-derived stream dissolved organic carbon in the permafrost region around Abisko, northern Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Climate change-induced thawing of permafrost mobilizes previously frozen carbon of high potential reactivity, thereby, fuelling microbiological production of greenhouse gases. For this work, an analysis of the quantity, quality, and bioreactivity of DOC in streams from the Stordalen discontinuous permafrost catchment was carried out with stream water samples during the relatively warm summer of 2018.
