On the basis of comparing different erosion types and mechanisms, this paper analyzed the relation of freeze-thaw erosion and melt water erosion, and discussed the concept of melt water erosion. The melt water erosion is defined as the soil erosion progress that water runoff resulting from the melted ice and snow erodes seasonal frozen soil. This paper analyzed the mechanism and characteristics of the melt water erosion, and figured out that repeated freeze-thaw action and impervious permafrost reduced erosion durability of soil and promoted the slope melt water runoff scouring soil. This paper analyzed the main influence factors on melt water erosion. The temperature, radiation and precipitation are the immediate influence factors on melt water erosion, the vegetation, wind and terrain influence the distribution of the snow and the radiation. This paper narrated the evaluation methodologies and evaluation model, and figured out that the research of melt water erosion should consult GIS/WEPP/EUROSEM models. In the end, this paper discussed the main research directions combining with the physical conditions of melt water erosion in our country.
