Modeling the spatiotemporal variability in subsurface thermal regimes across a low-relief polygonal tundra landscape

Vast carbon stocks stored in permafrost soils of Arctic tundra are under risk of release to the atmosphere under warming climate scenarios. Ice-wedge polygons in the low-gradient polygonal tundra create a complex mosaic of microtopographic features. This microtopography plays a critical role in...
