Thermokarst lakes exacerbate the instability of permafrost, which significantly alters regional geomorphology and hydrology, affecting biogeochemical cycles. However, the spatial distribution and future changes in thermokarst lakes have rarely been assessed at large scales. In this study, we combined various conditioning factors and an inventory of thermokarst lakes to assess the spatial distribution of susceptibility maps using machine-learning algorithms. The results showed that the extremely randomized trees (EXT) performed the best in the susceptibility modeling process, followed by random forest (RF) and logistic regression (LR). According to the assessment based on EXT, the high- and very high-susceptibility area of the present (2000\u20132016) susceptibility map was 196,222 km2, covering 19.67% of the permafrost region of the QTP. In the future (the 2070s), the area of the susceptibility map was predicted to shrink significantly under various representative concentration pathway scenarios (RCPs). The susceptibility map area would be reduced to 37.06% of the present area in RCP 8.5. This paper also performed correlation and importance analysis on the conditioning factors and thermokarst lakes, which indicated that thermokarst lakes tended to form in areas with flat topography and high soil moisture. The uncertainty of the susceptibility map was further assessed by the coefficient of variation (CV). Our results demonstrate a way to study the spatial distribution of thermokarst lakes at the QTP scale and provide a scientific basis for understanding thermokarst processes in response to climate change.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15133331","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,30]],"date-time":"2023-06-30T01:02:41Z","timestamp":1688086961000},"page":"3331","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Thermokarst
