We present a review of the changing state of European permafrost within a spatial zone that
includes the continuous high latitude arctic permafrost of Svalbard and the discontinuous …

In recent years successful attempts have been made to develop and improve spatial
modelling of mountain permafrost distribution. Work package 4 of the PACE project …

Norwegian rock avalanches have had fatal consequences in historical times and more are
statistically expected in the near future. In order to predict such events, there is obviously a …

Three deep boreholes (≥ 100 m) in mountain permafrost were recently drilled in Svalbard
(Janssonhaugen) and in Scandinavia (Tarfalaryggen and Juvvasshøe) for long‐term …

European mountain permafrost is generally only a few degrees below zero Celsius, and
may therefore be highly sensitive to climate change. Permafrost degradation may lead to …

Rock avalanches and related tsunamis represent one of the most serious natural hazards in
Norway, and during the last 100 years more than 170 people have lost their lives in western …

The presence and thermal character of permafrost reflect past and present surface energy
balances plus the heat flux from the Earth's interior. Analysis of permafrost ground …

Field mapping of mountain permafrost is laborious and is generally based on interpolation
between point information. A spatial model that is based on elevation and a …

This paper provides a review of research and techniques that focus on the seasonally
thawed portion of the Earth above permafrost terrain known as the active layer. The paper …

The interaction between glaciers and permafrost was long ago addressed for glaciers in
Arctic regions. Analogies from modern environments have been used to understand …
