Permafrost extends 40% of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), a region which contains the
headwaters of numerous major rivers in Asia. As an aquiclude, permafrost substantially …

ABSTRACT The Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) is the largest permafrost region in the world at
low and middle latitudes and high elevation. Permafrost is being degraded on the QTP due …

A characteristic of frozen ground is a tendency to form banded sequences of particle-free ice
lenses separated by layers of ice-infiltrated soil, which produce frost heave. In permafrost …

Frozen soil properties and thermohydraulic processes are still not fully understood due to
lack of in-situ measurements, especially in the high altitudes and high latitudes (HAHL) …

The extent and mechanisms by which precipitation extremes affect hydrological processes
in the critical zone (CZ) of loess possessing a thick unsaturated zone remains poorly …

Current researches on estimating soil salt movement during the freeze and thaw period are
mainly based on total salt concentration, while ignoring the phase change of multi …

The freeze–thaw cycle over the surface seasonally frozen soil is an important soil
hydrothermal dynamic process linking land surface processes and climatic changes in the …

In cold regions, freeze-thaw cycles play a critical role in many engineering and agricultural
applications and cause soil water flow and heat transport studies to be much more …

Advances in retrieval of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) provide a promising
and independent approach for quantifying gross primary production (GPP) across spatial …

Despite plentiful evidence of frozen ground effects on snowmelt infiltration from lab
experiments at pedon scales, streamflow observations show a weaker or no effect in terms …
