A New Method of Diagnosing the Historical and Projected Changes in Permafrost on the Tibetan Plateau

Earth's Future
The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the largest permafrost distribution zone at high‐altitude in the mid‐latitude region. Climate change has caused significant permafrost degradation on the TP, which has important impacts for the eco‐hydrological processes.

Multiple thermophysical effects of aeolian sand cover on permafrost under climate warming and wetting

Geoderma
Permafrost degradation on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) poses serious risks to the environment and infrastructure. Permafrost changes are controlled by both climate changes and local factors, including climate warming, wetting, and aeolian desertification ...

Hydrological responses to permafrost degradation on Tibetan Plateau under changing climate

Water Science and Engineering
The Tibetan Plateau (TP) has undergone significant warming and humidification in recent years, resulting in rapid permafrost degradation and spatiotemporal variations in hydrological processes, such as subsurface water transport, hydrothermal conversion,

Uncertainties in global permafrost area extent estimates from different methods

Advances in Climate Change Research
Previous permafrost extent estimates applied one or two methods to calculate the permafrost area, and the uncertainties between the methods were not assessed.

Profound loss of microbial necromass carbon in permafrost thaw-subsidence in the central Tibetan Plateau

Advances in Climate Change Research
Climate warming is causing rapid permafrost degradation, including thaw-induced subsidence, potentially resulting in heightened carbon release. Nevertheless, our understanding of the levels and variations of carbon components in permafrost, particularly ...

Enhanced Shallow Slope Deformation at Permafrost Degradation Margins Revealed by InSAR and Electrical Resistivity Tomography

Applied Sciences
Climate warming is accelerating permafrost degradation in alpine regions, promoting the development of thaw-related slope deformation through active-layer thickening, ground-ice thaw, and hydro-mechanical weakening.
