Permafrost Region and Permafrost Area in Globe and China
,
Global warming will lead to the thaw of permafrost degradation. The permafrost degradation can cause serious damage to engineering and infrastructure in permafrost regions, it can also change water, energy and carbon cycle between the land and the atmosphere and further create a feedback to climate change. Most permafrost is the ground below the earth’s surface and thus is difficult to be detected. There are many literatures used the terms of permafrost region and permafrost area ambiguously, and the incorrectly use of the two terms can lead serious mistakes in permafrost change and carbon budget calculation. Recently, there are many advances in remote sensing and modelling of permafrost. Here it systematically reviews the literatures to clarify the area of permafrost regions and the actual permafrost area in the world as well as in China. The most recent studies show that the permafrost region in the northern hemisphere is about 21×106 km2, and the actual permafrost area is about 14×106 km2. For the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau in China, the permafrost region occupies an area of about 1.50×106 km2, and the actual permafrost area is about 1.06×106 km2. More data are required to quantify the actual permafrost area in other permafrost regions in China.
