Detecting and Mapping Gas Emission Craters on the Yamal and Gydan Peninsulas, Western Siberia

Rapid climate warming at northern high latitudes is driving geomorphic changes across the permafrost zone. In the Yamal and Gydan peninsulas in western Siberia, subterranean accumulation of methane beneath or within ice-rich permafrost can create mounds at the land surface. Once over-pressurized by...
