Abstract

This talk aims to present applications of common mathematical models in permafrost research based on our research experience. (1) Permafrost distribution model (active layer thickness and mean annual ground temperature); (2) Unfrozen water content calculation models; (3) Thermal disturbance of improved cemented frozen soil; (4) Hydro-thermal-salinity coupling model.

Speaker Intro

Mingtang Chai is a associate professor in NingXia University. His main research interests are hydro-thermal characteristics in permafrost, seasonally frozen soil, and permafrost engineering. He graduated with a PhD in cold engineering and environment in Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
