Estimation of the residence time of permafrost groundwater in the middle of the Lena River basin, eastern Siberia

Detection of changes in the hydrological cycles of permafrost regions is a critical issue in hydrology. Better understanding of groundwater dynamics in permafrost regions is needed to assess the vulnerability of the cryolithic water environment to changing climate. However, little is known about the...
