    This research demonstrates a new measurement and scaling approach to constrain the estimates of methane (CH4) fluxes emitted from permafrost thaw (thermokarst) lakes. Permafrost is estimated to store about 20% of the total terrestrial carbon (C) stock. Permafrost thawing releases C in part as CH4, however, there are large uncertainties in the global CH4 budget that limit the accuracy of climate change projections. Estimating how much C is released from permafrost is critical to overcome this knowledge gap. Lake CH4 fluxes are estimated by combining direct observations, geophysical mapping and satellite remote sensing along with a scaling strategy based on lake expansion rate. This research contributes to advance the understanding of CH4 fluxes from thermokarst lakes and improve atmospheric C models.
