Variability in Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Permafrost Thaw Ponds

Arctic climate change is leading to accelerated melting of permafrost and the mobilization of soil organic carbon pools that have accumulated over thousands of years. Photochemical and microbial transformation will liberate a fraction of this carbon to the atmosphere in the form of CO₂ and CH₄. We q...
