  1. 1. Surface and Subsurface Flow Connection and Dominating Runoff Mechanism in Hillslope of Tarfala, Northern Sweden.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Namika Maharjan; [2023]
    Keywords : Advanced Terrestrial Simulator ATS ; hillslope connectivity; tracer test; hydrological modeling; parameter analysis; sub artic regions; hillslope hydrology;

    Abstract : 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. 2. THE INFLUENCE OF TUNDRA VEGETATION ON SOIL TEMPERATURES

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Edith Aspelin; [2022-09-28]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The arctic has experienced more rapid global warming and is more sensitive to temperature changes compared with the rest of the world. We can already see how vegetation distributed across the arctic tundra has changed in composition, height, and abundance. READ MORE

  4. 3. Seasonal permafrost subsidence monitoring in Tavvavuoma (Sweden) and Chersky (Russia) using Sentinel-1 data and the SBAS stacking technique

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Ida Rehn; [2022]
    Keywords : InSAR; Sentinel-1; SBAS; Permafrost; Subsidence; Permafrost thaw;

    Abstract : Permafrost deformation is expected to increase due to climatic perturbations such as amplified air and soil temperatures, resulting in permafrost thawing and subsequent subsidence. Palsas and peat plateaus are uplifted ice-rich peat mounds that experience permafrost subsidence. READ MORE

  5. 4. GIS, tracer test and water balance based hydrological analysis in Tarfala, Northern Sweden

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Elias Koivisto; [2022]
    Keywords : Tarfala; DEM; Tracer test; Water balance; the Arctic; Climate change; Permafrost; Glacier;

    Abstract : Current climate change poses a threat to the Arctic due to increasing temperatures, which cause the permafrost and glaciers to melt and thaw. This thesis focused on analyzing water balances in Tarfala catchment between 2000 and 2020 and using GIS as a support for tracer test results measured in Tarfala in 2021. READ MORE

  6. 5. Estimating active layer thickness at the high Arctic study site Zackenberg from remotely sensed ground subsidence

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Lotte Wendt; [2021]
    Keywords : active layer thickness; DInSAR; subsidence; permafrost; Zackenberg; CALM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The active layer thickness (ALT) is an indicator of permafrost thaw, which potentially leads to the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases under global warming, and thus could further amplify climate change. The thaw depth of the active layer also governs seasonal surface deformation, caused by the volume change between ice to water, which poses risks for slope stability and infrastructure foundations.
