The research team took the Bei’an to the Heihe expressway, to the study area which is located in the southern boundary of the permafrost zone in northeastern China
The results show that permafrost melting, and seasonal concentrated precipitation are the main causes of landslide movement (Shan et al, 2015)
Summary
Juanico (2016) believes that human engineering activities, rapid population growth, rapid urbanization, and an urban heat island effect in Sunwu, near the study area, may be important reasons for the increase in air temperature in the study area. To improve the problems mentioned above, the research team installed meteorological stations near the study area, and, combined with data from the National Meteorological Station on surface temperature in the Sunwu area and MODIS data, it was found that the increasing trend of surface temperature obtained from the National Meteorological Station in Sunwu was higher than that obtained from the MODIS data, which may be due to the influence of the urban heat island effect and human activities on the surface temperature observation points of the National Meteorological Station in Sunwu.
