Permafrost mapping on glaciers in the Ötztal, Austria, supplement to: Haeberli, Wilfried; Patzelt, Gernot (1982): Permafrostkartierung im Gebiet der Hochebenkar-Blockgletscher, Obergurgl, Ötztaler Alpen. Zeitschrift für Gletscherkunde und Glazialgeologie, 18(2), 127-150

The occurrence of permafrost in the region of the Hochebenkar rock glaciers has been mapped in detail. For this purpose basal temperatures of the winter snow cover were measured at over 250 sites (BTS-method), II refraction-seismic profiles were taken in frozen and unfrozen unconsolidated sediments...
