100 years of lake evolution over the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2021
Abstract. Lakes can be effective indicators of climate change, and this is especially so for the lakes over the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP), the highest plateau in the world, which undergoes little direct human influence. The QTP has warmed at twice the mean global rate, and the lakes there respond rapidly to climate and cryosphere changes. The QTP has

No protection of permafrost due to desertification on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractDesertification of tundra regions may form an escalating cycle with permafrost degradation where more permafrost thaw leads to continued desertification. This traditional viewpoint has been challenged in recent reports that state desertification protects the underlying permafrost. However, our measurements of soil temperature from nine sites in
