Method and provenance

Production method
Regional observational and climate-model analysis with lapse-rate-adjusted high-elevation temperature context; methodological details and uncertainties are those of the original report.
Provenance
The original Imperial College London Spiral record identifies a report issued 15 September 2026, DOI 10.25560/136420, licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.
Validation
Scientific Report Peer Review Status Not Established
Uncertainty
Regional attribution results and extrapolated high-elevation air temperature do not measure source-zone permafrost temperature or prove a specific failure mechanism.
Limitations
Report-scale spatial and temporal definitions differ among analyses. Do not represent one invented bounding box or date interval as the footprint of all underlying inputs. Named-expert peer review was not established.
