| Description: |
The thawing of the planet's permafrost is replumbing arctic environments, creating several hydrologic consequences and possibly some opportunities according to a new study. The paper notes that hydrologic change has been causally linked to permafrost thaw. However, applications of process-based models needed to support these linkages have often been restricted to generalized representations, hence, opening the door to multiple new areas of hydrologic study.
