SUMMARY:Responses of Permafrost Landscape to Surface Disturbances - Case studies in Siberian forest and Alaskan tundra

 nks*\n \n Ground-surface disturbances, including wildfires, deforestation, 
 and\n climate change, alter the thermal status of permafrost leading landsc
 ape\n changes in Polar Regions. Given the increasing number of reports abou
 t\n rapid permafrost thaw and predicted occurrence of wildfires in the Arct
 ic,\n it is of great social concern to know where and to what extent permaf
 rost\n degradation is currently ongoing and may occur in the near future. T
 his is\n true, especially in ice-rich permafrost zones, as consequential su
 bsidence\n by ice-rich permafrost thaw (thermokarst) will cause significant
  changes in\n surface ecology, landscape evolution, and hydrological proces
 ses.\n \n This presentation introduces several case studies on thermokarst 
 subsidence\n observed in the field and by remote sensing in various time ra
 nges. Field\n surveys and microwave remote sensing analyses were conducted 
 to quantify\n thermokarst after surface disturbances in boreal forests of N
 E Siberia and\n tundra fire scars in Alaska.\n\n More information and regis
