Abstract: Abstract In Low Arctic tundra, thermal erosion of ice‐rich permafrost soils (thermokarst) has increased in frequency since the 1980s. Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS) are thermokarst disturbances forming large open depressions on hillslopes through soil wasting… read more here.

Abstract: The frozen vastness of the high Arctic during winter can seem a desolate and inhospitable environment. But during summer, the snow melts and the frozen ground thaws to transform the landscape into a lush expanse… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01431161.2023.2195571
Abstract: ABSTRACT Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTSs) are thermokarst landforms that develop on slopes in permafrost regions when thawing permafrost causes the land surface to collapse. RTSs are an indicator of climate change and pose a threat… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/acd0c2
Abstract: Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS)—thermal erosion of soil and vegetation after ground ice thaw—are increasing. Recovery of plant biomass after RTS is important for maintaining Arctic carbon (C) stocks and is regulated by nutrient availability for… read more here.
