Terrestrial Freeze-thaw Monitoring on the Tibet Plateau Using Passive Microwave Remote Sensing
The terrestrial cryosphere comprises cold areas of Earth’s land surface where water is either permanently or seasonally frozen. This includes most regions north of 40 degrees North latitude and most mountainous regions where elevation is greater than 1000m [1]. Permafrost is ground that perennially at or below 0 throughout the year. Above the permafrost is the active layer, which experiences su...
متن کاملSimulated and In Situ Frost Heave in Seasonally Frozen Soil from a Cold Temperate Broad-Leaved Korean Pine Forest Short Title: Frost Heave in Seasonally Frozen Soil from a Temperate Forest
Frost heave, which is the volumetric expansion of frozen soil, has great ecological significance, since it creates water storage spaces in soils at the beginning of the growing season in cold temperate forests. To understand the characteristics of frost heave in seasonally frozen soil and the factors that impact its extent, we investigated the frost heave rates of forest soil from different dep...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of water-heat coupled movements in seasonal frozen soil
In view of the insufficiencies of existing research into soil water and heat movements in seasonally frozen soil regions, water–heat coupled movements in seasonally frozen soil were studied by using a numerical simulation method. On the basis of viscous flow theory for liquid water in porous media and the heat balance principle, one-dimensional seasonal frozen soil water–heat coupled movements ...
متن کاملModelling of cryogenic processes in permafrost and seasonally frozen soils
This paper investigates the thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of soils subjected to seasonal temperature variations in both permafrost and seasonally frozen conditions. Numerical modelling of soil freezing and ice segregation processes is presented, and compared against small-scale physical modelling experiments. The coupled THM model presented, which is solved by way of a transient finit...
متن کاملEstimation of Water Retention Curve for Unsaturated Fine Soils
In order to obtain the soil water retention curve of an unsaturated soil which is defined as the relationship between water content and suction, extensive laboratory tests are essential. These laboratory tests are usually costly and time consuming. Moreover, for most practical problems, it has been found that approximate unsaturated soil properties are adequate for analysis. Thus, empirical pro...
