Abstract:In this study, we identified the relationship between Ground Surface Temperature (GST) with the geography and environmental factors in the Terkh River Valley, Mongolia, and explored the possibility of using satellite data to determine active layer thickness and seasonally frozen ground changes. We obtained data from three boreholes for the permafrost monitoring, and ten GST measuring instruments that we installed in the valley. According to the results, the active layer thickness at the three boreholes varied … Show more
