Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

The distribution and state of subsea permafrost is largely unknown. Present maps, which rely heavily on model results, suggest that subsea permafrost is confined to the Beaufort, Siberian and Laptev seas. Here we show that discontinuous subsea permafrost exists along the Labrador coast (56 °N) under the influence of the Labrador Coastal Current. High-resolution bathymetric data reveal the presence of subsea thermokarst environments on the coastal seabed of Nain, Nunatsiavut, where an ice-rich sediment sample was recovered in July 2022 at a water depth of 27 m. Porewater analysis indicates that ground ice can persist in the sediments due to freshened submarine groundwater seepage that freezes at higher temperatures (0 °C) than seawater (−1.8 °C). The formation and preservation of subsea permafrost landforms is due to cold waters of the Labrador Coastal Current entering the coastal areas and remaining less than 0 °C for most of the year. Therefore, evidence of subsea permafrost landforms in coastal Labrador and the distribution of cold bottom water in the Northern Hemisphere suggests that subsea permafrost is likely to be preserved elsewhere in subarctic regions, especially where freshened submarine groundwater seepage elevates the freezing temperature. This highlights the potential underestimation of subsea permafrost in the world’s coastal oceans.
