Location of the study area northwest of Fairbanks, AK, USA. The map shows (a) yedoma permafrost distribution and (b) yedoma lakes and terrain of the Goldstream Valley. Data sources include Strauss et al. (2016), Alaska LiDAR Dataset (USGS, 2018), Elevation Datasets of Alaska (DGGS Staff, 2013), and Walter Anthony et al. (2020).

Body
Orthophotographs of lakes near of Fairbanks, AK, identify open holes in lake ice that indicate the location of releases of CH4 from thawing permafrost.
