Permafrost, Rock, Ice and Snow Monitoring in the Austre Loven glacier basin (PRISM) RIS-6815

In a global change perspective, high latitude regions happen to be an important observatory where current dynamics are observed. Studying slopes in polar environments is the main focus of the PRISM project. This project specifically aims at understanding, monitoring, and modeling the spatial dimension of slope dynamics in glacier basins. These dynamics do have a key role in the physical and hydrological behavior of polar glaciers. Slopes are impacted by permafrost melting, snow cover and glacier constraints. The combination of this factors leads to processes that are far from well documented.
