Role of permafrost degradation on evapotranspiration on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
Shui kexue jinzhan, 2022 The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), known as the "Asian Water Tower", is extremely sensitive to climate change. Studying the impacts of permafrost degradation on evapotranspiration is conducive to improving the understanding of the response of hydrological ...

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2021 Traditional embankment is widely used in the permafrost regions along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway (QTR) because of its simple construction and lower cost. However, this form of embankment has insufficient ability to resist external thermal disturbance.

Impacts of Permafrost Degradation on Carbon Stocks and Emissions under a Warming Climate: A Review
Atmosphere, 2021 A huge amount of carbon (C) is stored in permafrost regions. Climate warming and permafrost degradation induce gradual and abrupt carbon emissions into both the atmosphere and hydrosphere.
