Arctic rivers face big changes with a warming climate, permafrost thaw and an accelerating water cycle − the effects will have global consequences
A new study shows how thawing permafrost and intensifying storms will change how water moves into and through Arctic rivers.

In a recent study we investigated the trajectory of terrestrial Arctic hydrology, specifically precipitation, SWE, and river discharge, and described the salient results in The Conversation @us.theconversation.com @ambarish.bsky.social #arctic #climatechange
