摘要
Lakes, commonly underlain by taliks, are principal agents of disturbance to permafrost. We have measured lake-bottom temperatures with submerged loggers on near-shore terraces and in deep central pools at two tundra lakes on Richards Island, NT, to determine inter-annual lake thermal responses to climate variation. We have modelled associated potential adjustments in talik geometry. In 2000-17, annual mean temperatures varied between -5.7 and 2.1 degrees C for terraces and 1.1 and 4.5 degrees C for pools. Permafrost in the terraces is warmer than surrounding the lakes: talik configuration varies with horizontal terrace extent and terrace and pool temperatures. The talik break-through depth declines as terrace size increases. Using the four warmest and coldest years as an analogue for climate change-an adjustment that may occur this century-the increase in talik depth may be up to 100 m, but it may take millennia for talik geometry to reach equilibrium.
