I think this would be really interesting.

Also I'm working at the moment with Avni Malhotra (Stanford) on a synthesis on peatland CO2/CH4 fluxes right now, and we've collected a lot of data for this effort. This may be useful.
Key papers off the top of my head:
The new northern permafrost zone carbon inventory reports the surface permafrost carbon pool (0–3 m) to be 1,035 ± 150 Pg carbon (mean ± 95% confidence interval, CI)
To calculate potential CH4 emissions in addition to the CO2 losses, we assume that a constant fraction of these anoxic C losses are emitted as CH4 to the atmospher
Potential carbon emissions dominated by carbon dioxide from thawed permafrost soils
Our results demonstrate that as climate warms in arctic and boreal regions, rates of anaerobic CO2 and CH4 production will increase, not only as a result of increased temperature, but also from shifts in vegetation and increased ground saturation that will accompany permafrost thaw.
