Short summary
We studied how Arctic landscapes change as the ground thaws by comparing measurements taken ten years apart. We found that some areas sank and new ponds formed, with different patterns depending on the shape of the land. These changes affect how water and carbon flow and cycle through the environment. The results help understand how and where the Arctic is shifting, and highlight the need for repeated observations to track long-term changes.
