With global warming and increasingly frequent human activities in permafrost regions, it is of great significance to accurately and scientifically evaluate the probability and scope of thermal hazards in permafrost regions. Based on remote sensing image interpretation and field survey, the weight of evidence method (WoEM) was used to comprehensively evaluate the risk of thermal hazards in the source area of the Datong River. There were 10 factors, such as ground ice, mean annual ground temperature, mean annual air temperature, and ground soil type etc., selected in the WoEM. The results showed that the thermal hazard occurrences were closely influenced by ground ice, mean annual ground temperature, ground soil type, etc. The thermal hazards mainly occurred in the unstable permafrost with MAGT of –0.5 to –1.5 °C, accounting for 54.72% of the thermal hazards. The distribution area of thermal hazards in ground ice Level I and II accounts for 66.42%. Thermal hazards mainly occur in the soil types of bog soil and sapropel bog soil, accounting for 41.24% and 29.62% of the total thermal hazards area, respectively. Based on the influence factors and WoEM of thermal hazards occurrence, the probability map of thermal hazards occurrence in the source area was obtained. Additionally, the characteristics of the region with a high probability of thermal hazards occurrence and their causes were also comprehensively analyzed. Full article
