This poster presents patterns of permafrost degradation under lakes with eroding shorelines in Old Crow Flats, Northern Yukon. Old Crow Flats is an arctic peatland in the continuous permafrost zone. Two shorelines with contrasting rates of recession, bank morphology, and vegetation cover were studied in the field. Depth to permafrost beneath the lakes was measured by jet drilling. Permafrost degradation occurs under very shallow water. Snow drifting on the ice surface affects patterns of permafrost degradation despite minimal effect on mean annual lake bottom temperatures.
