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

open access: yesEarth'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.
