Permafrost degradation poses serious threats to both natural and human systems through its
influence on ecological–hydrological processes, infrastructure stability, and the climate …

Global warming has already had a significant impact on social ecosystems. The Tibetan
Plateau (TP), which is characterized by a cryosphere, is also recognized to have a profound …

The Tibetan Plateau (TP) has the largest areas of permafrost terrain in the mid-and low-
latitude regions of the world. Some permafrost distribution maps have been compiled but …

Data scarcity is a major obstacle for high-resolution mapping of permafrost on the Tibetan
Plateau (TP). This study produces a new permafrost stability distribution map for the 2010s …

The cryosphere is defined by the presence of frozen water in its many forms: glaciers, ice
caps, ice sheets, snow, permafrost, and river and lake ice. In the extended Hindu Kush …

Abstract Permafrost on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) has undergone degradation as a
result of recent climate change. This may alter the thermo‐hydrological processes and …

Air temperature increases thermally degrade permafrost, which has widespread impacts on
engineering design, resource development, and environmental protection in cold regions …

Monitoring the thermal state of permafrost (TSP) is important in many environmental science
and engineering applications. However, such data are generally unavailable, mainly due to …

Surges and glacier avalanches are expressions of glacier instability, and among the most
dramatic phenomena in the mountain cryosphere. Until now, the catastrophic collapse of a …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …
