Thaw depth refers to the depth to which the ground or soil has thawed during warmer months, particularly in regions that experience seasonal freezing and thawing cycles, such as in cold climates or permafrost areas. Thaw depth is crucial in various fields, including geology, agriculture, and civil engineering, as it affects soil properties, vegetation growth, and the stability of structures built on or in the ground.
