Project Description

Objectives
The objective of the permafrost monitoring project is to demonstrate the capability of Earth Observation (EO)-based data to identify, monitor and assess permafrost related geo-hazards as a complementary tool to existing practice, such as terrain analysis, permafrost science and geotechnical engineering.
The end users to this proposal require deformation and geohazard maps to determine the existence and extent of permafrost instability to reduce risk to resource development and production.
