1. 1. Seasonal permafrost subsidence monitoring in Tavvavuoma (Sweden) and Chersky (Russia) using Sentinel-1 data and the SBAS stacking technique

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Author : Ida Rehn; [2022]
   Keywords : InSAR; Sentinel-1; SBAS; Permafrost; Subsidence; Permafrost thaw;

   Abstract : Permafrost deformation is expected to increase due to climatic perturbations such as amplified air and soil temperatures, resulting in permafrost thawing and subsequent subsidence. Palsas and peat plateaus are uplifted ice-rich peat mounds that experience permafrost subsidence. READ MORE

3. 2. A 2D Electrical Resistivity Survey of Palsas in Tavvavuoma, sub-arctic Sweden

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Per Marklund; [2014]
   Keywords : Palsas; permafrost; peat plateaus; resistivity; ert; geophysics; Tavvavuoma; Palsar; permafrost; torvplatåer; resistivitet; ert; geofysik; Tavvavuoma;

   Abstract : Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a commonly used geophysical method to investigate permafrost in the mountain environment, but few studies have employed this method in a permafrost affected peatland. For this thesis, 5 ERT profiles were measured over 17 palsas and peat-plateaus in a palsa peatland environment in Tavvavuoma, northern Sweden, where the primary aim was to investigate the depth to the base of permafrost under the mounds.
