Degradation characteristics of permafrost under the effect of climate warming and engineering disturbance along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway
Description: Based on the monitoring data from 13 typical monitoring sites along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, the degradation characteristics of the permafrost under asphalt pavement and natural ground surface were analyzed with considerations of climate warming and engineering disturbance. It can be concluded that influences from climate warming on permafrost degradation in warm permafrost region were greater than that in cold permafrost region, and influences from engineering disturbance on permafrost degradation in warm permafrost region were less than that in cold permafrost region.
