New research co-led by Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia shows that amplified global warming in the Canadian High Arctic drove a profound shift in the structure of a river network carved into a permafrost landscape in only 60 years.

Intensified global warming has transformed Canadian High Arctic river networks over 60 years, influenced by freeze-thaw cycles and flooding patterns. New research underscores the urgent need for predictive models to forecast future Arctic environmental shifts. New research co-led by Simon Fraser

The presence of geological polygons can mean "faster rates of erosion" in permafrost, and may be a globally important phenomenon.
