Porewater <i>δ</i><sup>13</sup>C<sub>DOC</sub> indicates variable extent of degradation in different talik layers of coastal Alaskan thermokarst lakes

<p>Thermokarst lakes play an important role in permafrost environments by warming and insulating the underlying permafrost. As a result, thaw bulbs of unfrozen ground (taliks) are formed. Since these taliks remain perennially thawed, they are zones of increased degradation where microbial acti...
