Lake outburst accelerated permafrost degradation on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
Remote Sensing of Environment, 2020 Abstract Lakes and permafrost on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) are both important indicators of climate change. Previous literatures have shown the usefulness of optical remote sensing in lake expansion monitoring and the effectiveness of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry (InSAR) in retrieving permafrost deformation on QTP. However, none of

Research process of groundwater in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the “third Pole” of the world, is the birthplace of many great rivers, including the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Lancang River, the Nu River, the Yarlung Zangbo River and other world famous rivers. Under the background of global warming, the hydrogeological conditions of the Qinghai-Tibet
