From: Recent Arctic tundra fire initiates widespread thermokarst development
Detection of subsidence in primary upland terrain units in burned (a–c) and unburned tundra (d,e).(a) Widespread ice wedge degradation and thermokarst development in burned, yedoma upland terrain. (b) Thaw-related, hillslope feature development in burned, rocky upland terrain associated with water tracks and gully formation. (c) Spatially limited thaw-related landform development in burned, previously glaciated upland, primarily associated with watertracks. Unburned upland tundra sites are shown for reference with (d) representing a yedoma upland and stream gulch and (e) a previously glaciated upland. All panes show detectable subsidence based on the FIS spatially variable estimate of uncertainty and propagation of errors in the dDTM output. Figure created in Esri® ArcMap™ 10.1.
