Short summary
Thermokarst lakes have formed over thousands of years from permafrost thaw in the Arctic. Here, we quantify the change in methane production rates as thermokarst lakes evolve through an incubation-based approach of measuring and comparing methane production rates and organic carbon lability between a more mature thermokarst lake and a young dynamic thermokarst lake. We also show the use of the Rock-Eval analysis of organic carbon along the sediments as a proxy for organic susceptibility for methanogenesis.
