CryoWALL - Steep permafrost slopes in Norway

Stabiliteten i fjellvegger er en utfordring med tanke på klimaendringer, og kritisk for samfunnet og infrastruktur. Mange studier indikerer at permafrost (permanent frossen grunn) er en viktig faktor for stabiliteten i bratte skråninger. Permafrost stabiliserer slike skråninger fordi vann i sprek...

The CRYO-FImBack workshop - Atmospheric forcing and surface energy balance - impacts and feedbacks on the Arctic terrestrial cryosphere

Glaciers and permafrost are the two major components of the terrestrial cryosphere, which will be strongly affected by the changing climate system. A warming climate will change ground temperatures or the glacier mass balance, with important consequences, e.g. release of methane from thawing per...

CRYOMET - Bridging models for the terrestrial cryosphere and the atmosphere

På forsommeren, når turfolk i de norske fjellene bytter ski med fjellsko, kan man rett som det er møte på hindringer langs stiene som snirkler seg innover i høyfjellet: snøflekker fra sist vinter som enda ikke er smeltet ut. Det spraglete mønsteret av snøflekker over det bare fjellandskapet er et...

CRYOLINK Permafrost and seasonal frost in Southern Norway; understanding and modelling the atmosphere-ground temperature coupling

Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in Arctic and high-mountain regions. Above the natural tree line Norway is characterised by a modern Arctic environment, and the modern southern boundary for Scandinavian permafrost is located in the mountain s of Southern Norway. Permafrost and seas...

Permafrost in Northern Europe - permafrost distribution and dynamics in Iceland and Norway

The sensitivity of the upper permafrost layers with respect to decadal climatic changes and the potential consequences of permafrost evolution on surface processes, landscape dynamics and natural hazards in high-alpine environments makes knowledge about t he spatial distribution patterns of mount...
