ABSTRACT Thermokarst lakes on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau cause considerable thermal disturbance to the surrounding permafrost, giving rise to anomalous ground‐temperature conditions and open‐talik formation below some lakes. Using in situ data and information from monitoring of a representative therm...
