GlobPermafrost

A Service for Global Permafrost Monitoring

Develop, validate and implement information products to support the research communities and related international organisations like IPA and CliC in their work on understanding permafrost better by integration of Earth Observation data

The goal of the GlobPermafrost project is to demonstrate EO integrated applications in the field of permafrost monitoring world-wide with active participation of user organisations, mainly from academics. The project acts as a platform to users and service providers in order to harmonise information needs and develop a set of key tools to address them. The GlobPermafrost project objectives are to:

  • Define EO applications for permafrost monitoring based on user requirements
  • Integrate the latest EO technology with state of the art ground based measurements and models
  • Demonstrate and validate the products with the user organisations
  • Develop mid to long term scenarios for boreal and mountainous permafrost monitoring
  • Contribute to new scientific results in the domain of climate change, climate modelling and hydrological modelling 

The demonstration scenario consists of:

  • Mapping circumpolar permafrost extend 
  • Permafrost dedicated land cover class prototype 
  • 10 local cold spots 
  • 5 regional transects for “hot spot” identification 
  • Mountain permafrost areas
