PERMOS

Swiss Permafrost Monitoring Network

Activities

PERMOS has evolved over more than 20 years since its start and still does. The network and its collaborators are active in climate monitoring and permafrost research, both nationally and internationally. Check out our most recent activities below!

Swiss Permafrost Bulletin 2022

How did the snow-poor winter and the hot summer 2022 affect the permafrost in the Swiss Alps?

Swiss Cryosphere Report 2022

Read about the effect of the extreme year 2022 on snow, glaciers and permafrost in the Swiss Alps on the website of the SAC-CAS (in dt./frz.)!

Near-surface temperatures and rock glacier velocities decreased during the hydrological year 2021, permafrost warming continued at depth.

Glaciological Report (Permafrost)

4-year report on Permafrost in Switzerland 2014/2015 to 2017/2018

Permafrost from space

The Permafrost Climate Change Initiative (CCI) by ESA derives global maps of permafrost temperature and active layer thickness from satellite images.

International Database of Geoelectrical Surveys on Permafrost

This IPA Action Group brings together the international geoelectrical permafrost measurements to build up an international database.
