Monitoring the evolution of permafrost in the Tien Shan

The extent and altitudinal range of permafrost in the Tien Shan has changed many times during the Holocene. The lower limit of permafrost has risen significantly, but from time to time it has regressed. For example, the limit of permafrost during the Little Ice Age was lower than it is now by about...
