Spatial modeling of permafrost distribution and properties on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Accurate information on the distribution of permafrost and its thermal and hydrological properties is critical for environmental management and engineering development. This study modeled the current state of permafrost on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP), including the spatial distribution of permafrost, active‐layer thickness (ALT), mean annual ground temperature (MAGT), depth of zero annual amplitude (DZAA) and ground‐ice content using an...
