Climate tipping points occur when change in a part of the climate system becomes self-
perpetuating beyond a warming threshold, leading to substantial Earth system impacts …

Global warming and the response to it have become a topic of concern in today's society
and are also a research focus in the global scientific community. As the world's third pole …

Understanding methane (CH4) emission from thermokarst lakes is crucial for predicting the
impacts of abrupt thaw on the permafrost carbon-climate feedback. However, observational …

Climate change is an existential threat to the vast global permafrost domain. The diverse
human cultures, ecological communities, and biogeochemical cycles of this tenth of the …

Global warming has led to permafrost degradation worldwide. The Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau
(QTP) hosts most of the world's alpine permafrost, yet its impending changes remain largely …

Accurate understanding of permafrost dynamics is critical for evaluating and mitigating
impacts that may arise as permafrost degrades in the future; however, existing projections …

Earth's climate during the last 4.6 billion years has changed repeatedly between cold
(icehouse) and warm (greenhouse) conditions. The hottest conditions (supergreenhouse) …

Abstract Background The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the “sensitive area” of climate change,
and also the “driver” and “amplifier” of global change. The response and feedback of its …

Under the continuing influence of global warming, resolving the inconsistency of permafrost
degradation rates and quantifying the spatial distribution characteristics are critical for high …

Dust plays a critical role in global biogeochemical and carbon cycles. The deserts of
northern China have been important East Asian dust sources throughout the Quaternary …
