Abstract This research examines coastal erosion along the Arctic shoreline at Tiksi in the Lena River Delta under significant impacts of a warming climate. Climate warming, characterized by elevated surface temperatures, has accelerated the melting of ground ice and exacerbated coastal erosion. Despite extensive studies on Arctic coastal dynamics, considerable gaps remain in understanding local…

Seasonal methane across northen Siberian waters
Siberian scientists recently analysed how much methane was stored in the Lena River, Tiksi Bay and .Lake Golzovoye because methane levels in water are not as well known. Between 2001-17 the atmospheric methane increased to 1932 ppb, recorded at Tiksi Hydrometeorological Observatory. They wanted to investigate the relationship between warmer water temperatures and increased methane…
