Article Synopsis
- The Heihe River Basin, situated in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, shows significant permafrost degradation, highlighted by 255 observations from various satellite and measurement data sources.
- The study employs a novel technique called Variational Bayesian Independent Component Analysis (VB-ICA) to analyze surface deformation and active layer thickness changes, revealing a maximum thickness of 5.7 m and seasonal deformation with a peak of 60 mm.
- This research emphasizes the effectiveness of the InSAR method in monitoring freeze-thaw patterns and highlights the growing concerns of permafrost erosion in high-elevation areas of the basin.
