    Coastal permafrost erosion, organic carbon and nutrient release to the arctic nearshore zone (COPER) Permafrost Erosion Arctic permafrost coasts account for 34% of the coasts of the Earth and are extremely [...] extremely vulnerable to climate change, because the frozen bluffs lose the cohesion provided by the permafrost matrix upon contact with seawater and are instantly washed away by incoming waves. With warming [...] e the spatial variability of particulate and dissolved organic carbon and nutrient contents in permafrost sediments and ground ice as well their sediment characteristics through cross-shore sampling transects
