Short summary
Thawing permafrost at Iškoras in northern Norway is transforming peat plateaus into thermokarst ponds and wetlands. These small ponds show striking oversaturation of dissolved greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), partly owing to organic matter processing. Streams nearby emit CO2, driven by turbulence. As permafrost disappears, carbon dynamics will change, potentially increasing emissions of CH4. This study highlights the need to integrate these changes into climate models.

We assessed the predictive skill of forecasting tools over the next season for water discharge and lake temperature. Tools were forced with seasonal weather predictions; however, most of the prediction skill originates from legacy effects and not from seasonal weather predictions. Yet, when skills from seasonal weather predictions are present, additional skill comes from interaction effects. Skilful lake seasonal predictions require better weather predictions and realistic antecedent conditions.

Short summary
We develop a Gaussian Bayesian network (GBN) for seasonal forecasting of lake water quality and algal bloom risk in a nutrient-impacted lake in southern Norway. Bayesian networks are powerful tools for environmental modelling but are almost exclusively discrete. We demonstrate that a continuous GBN is a promising alternative approach. Predictive performance of the GBN was similar or improved compared to a discrete network, and it was substantially less time-consuming and subjective to develop.

We explore, together with stakeholders, whether seasonal forecasting of water quantity, quality, and ecology can help support water management at five case study sites, primarily in Europe. Reliable forecasting, a season in advance, has huge potential to improve decision-making. However, managers were reluctant to use the forecasts operationally. Key barriers were uncertainty and often poor historic performance. The importance of practical hands-on experience was also highlighted.

Here, we quantified the sediment production of methane and carbon dioxide in lake sediments to better characterize the nature of the organic matter at the origin of these two greenhouse gases. We demonstrate that the production of these gases is not adequately represented in models for deep lake sediments. We thus propose to improve the representation of organic matter degradation reactions in current models for improving predictions of greenhouse gas cycling in aquatic sediments.

Short summary
Short summary
Thermokarst ponds in high latitudes are important methane (CH4) sources in summer. Meanwhile, these lakes are ice-covered for around 60 % of the year and can accumulate CH4 in the ice and within the underlying water column, which potentially results in high emissions during the ice-off. Here, we present data on wintertime CH4 storage of ponds located within two peat plateaus in Northern Norway. Our results show that the wintertime CH4 storage can contribute up to 40 % to the annual CH4 budget.

Effect of conservation agriculture (CA) and biochar on N2O emissions in unfertilized Ferralsol of northern Uganda was investigated for two seasons. The hypothesis was rotation with pigeon pea increases N2O emission, while biochar amendment in CA reduces N2O emissions. N2O emissions ranged from 0.44–1.11 kg N ha-1. Biochar did not affect N2O emissions but reduced yield-scaled N2O emissions without penalizing pigeon pea productivity.

Short summary
Permafrost peatlands are thawing due to climate change, releasing large quantities of carbon that degrades upon thawing and is released as CO2, CH4 or dissolved organic carbon (DOC). We incubated thawed Norwegian permafrost peat plateaus and thermokarst pond sediment found next to permafrost for up to 350 d to measure carbon loss. CO2 production was initially the highest, whereas CH4 production increased over time. The largest carbon loss was measured at the top of the peat plateau core as DOC.

The addition of alkaline minerals into the ocean might reduce excessive anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Magnesium hydroxide can be added in large amounts because of its low seawater solubility without reaching harmful pH levels. The toxicity effect results of magnesium hydroxide, by simulating the expected concentrations from a ship's dispersion scenario, demonstrated low impacts on both sensitive and local assemblages of marine microalgae when compared to calcium hydroxide.

In summer 2019, the Northwest Passage Project explored the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA). Our study revealed methane oversaturation in upper CAA waters, driven by meltwater, turbidity, and specific microbial activity. It highlights the need to distinguish active methane zones. Western CAA showed higher methane activity, while the east had lower levels due to Atlantic Water influence. These findings contribute to understanding Arctic methane dynamics and its climate change implications.

In this paper, we seek to further elucidate the methane budget in the Northwest Passage, and detect its main association with the environmental features and the biogenic control within the water column and the sea ice. Collectively, we can divide the entire study area into: (a) sea ice, with methane excess; (b) meltwaters, characterized by methane oxidations in oversaturated waters; (c) Pacific waters, with high methane oxidation rates; (d) Atlantic regime, mostly abiotic for methane.

Short summary
The Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) is characterized by advection from the Pacific (PW) and Atlantic waters (AW), ice melt, local river discharge and net precipitation. In a changing Arctic, it is crucial to monitor the hydrography of this Region. We combined chemical and physical parameters into an Optimal MultiParameter Analysis, for the detection of the source water fractions characterizing the CAA. The outcome was effective about the PW and AW, and discriminated the meltwaters origin.

Short summary
Determination of dissolved greenhouse gas (GHG) in freshwater allows us to estimate GHG fluxes. Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) is used to preserve water samples prior to GHG analysis despite its environmental and health impacts and interferences with water chemistry in freshwater. Here, we tested the effects of HgCl2, two substitutes and storage time on GHG in water from two boreal lakes. Preservation with HgCl2 caused overestimation of CO2 concentration with consequences for GHG flux estimation.
