- •
Permafrost distributions on the Qilian Mountains are simulated.
- •
A multi-criteria approach is used to simulate permafrost over the past 30 years.
- •
Simulated distribution of permafrost presents an overall degraded tendency.
- •
About 17.11% of simulated area has decreased over the past 30 years.
- •
Upon climate tendency, Qilian permafrost will continue to degrade in next 15 years.
