Abstract
New approaches to studying and monitoring of on palsa mires the Kola Peninsula are considered. Because of the observed signs of permafrost degradation in frost heave mounds (palsa), such objects can serve as markers of significant climate anomalies and shifts taking place in the Arctic zone. The analysis of the occurrence of palsa mires on the Kola Peninsula showed the existence of four separate morphometric and climatic clusters. The obtained results demonstrated the potential of a set of methods for determining the dynamics of permafrost in the palsa and for monitoring the related transformation of the mire ecosystem.
期刊介绍:
Water Resources is a journal that publishes articles on the assessment of water resources, integrated water resource use, water quality, and environmental protection. The journal covers many areas of research, including prediction of variations in continental water resources and regime; hydrophysical, hydrodynamic, hydrochemical and hydrobiological processes, environmental aspects of water quality and protection; economic, social, and legal aspects of water-resource development; and experimental methods of studies.
