Studying the dynamics of thermokarst lake fields in Altai mountain valleys

The dynamics of the thermokarst lake (TL) areas at six permafrost test sites (TSs) in Gorny Altai has been studied using the collection of the Landsat 5 asynchronical space images (1993–2010). It has been indicated that the average total lake area at all test sites increased by 31% during the studie...

Summary:The dynamics of the thermokarst lake (TL) areas at six permafrost test sites (TSs) in Gorny Altai has been studied using the collection of the Landsat 5 asynchronical space images (1993–2010). It has been indicated that the average total lake area at all test sites increased by 31% during the studied period.
