in the region. In August 2016, the town Point Lay in Alaska lost its nearby lake. Due to thawing permafrost soils, the lake had steadily lost stability and ultimately drained entirely into the Kokolik River

Texel, the Netherlands. Mollenhauer has taken part in numerous expe- ditions at sea and to the permafrost regions of the Arctic. Since 2006, she is head of a research group at the Alfred Wegener Institute
emissions in this project is also important for understanding how now-frozen soils will respond to permafrost thaw as soils that are always frozen shift to becoming seasonally or perennially thawed with increased
