Research Abstract |
This study aims to clarify thermal state of permafrost especially on Mongolia, Svalbard and Japanese high mountains under the umbrella of global permafrost network. In Mongolia we found occurrences of the colder permafrost on the northerner territories and large spatial differences in temperatures even within small areas. We deduced that permafrost warming is strongly controlled by the rate of unfrozen water contents. Recently the international permafrost association has paid special attention of Mongolian permafrost observatories, since number of research borehole has been significantly increased by our study. The deepest, 10m-permafrost-research-borehole among Japan has been installed on the permafrost, Daisetsu Mountains, Hokkaido. The low ground temperature, -2℃ at 10m, indicate the presence of thermally stable permafrost. The modeling schemes were improved especially for soil freezing and thawing processes in the GCM, and have been applied to reconstruct paleo-permafrost distribution. For verification we referred the distribution of fossil periglacial phenomena. The realistic verification needs for deeper understanding of concurrent relation between climate and periglacial processes. In this context we studied concurrent climatic situations for the frost wedge and frost creep, and paleo-permafrost development of pingo.
