Abstract: Abstract Many observations in and model simulations for northern basins have confirmed an increased streamflow from degrading permafrost, while the streamflow has declined in the source area of the Yellow River (SAYR, above the Tanag… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Permafrost contains twice as much carbon as the atmosphere and the degradation of permafrost due to climatic warming, which could potentially change the global carbon cycle and could also enhance global climate change. It… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Global warming causes a large area of permafrost degradation, which leads to increasingly engineering problems related to pile foundations in Tibetan Plateau, particularly in warm permafrost. The present research investigated the effects of permafrost… read more here.

Abstract: Given the current, widely confirmed, substantial permafrost degradation and its considerable impacts on ecosystems, water resources, infrastructure and climate, there is great interest in understanding the causes of permafrost degradation. Using the surface frost index… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/abc444
Abstract: Surface energy budgets of high-latitude permafrost systems are poorly represented in Earth system models (ESMs), yet permafrost is rapidly degrading and these dynamics are critical to future carbon-climate feedback predictions. A potentially important factor in… read more here.
