Abstract
Permafrost and landscape history, in addition to ground ice content, are increasingly identified as important components in predicting permafrost thaw trajectories. Together with cryostratigraphy, plant remains and stable isotopes can provide useful information about past permafrost aggradation and thaw. We applied these methods with radiocarbon dating on peat and permafrost cores in the sporadic zone on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, to provide a longterm framework for understanding recent thaw and implications for carbon loss.
