UndercoverEisAgenten - The Arctic Permafrost Citizen Science Project
People in the Arctic have been experiencing severe changes to their environments for several decades. In particular the thawing of permafrost affects the livelihoods of indigenous people and has far-reaching ecological impacts including the additional release of greenhouse gases. By fusing local kno...

People in the Arctic have been experiencing severe changes to their environments for several decades. In particular the thawing of permafrost affects the livelihoods of indigenous people and has far-reaching ecological impacts including the additional release of greenhouse gases.

The goal is to investigate permafrost thaw impacts through the acquisition and analysis of imagery from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and satellites together with young Citizen Scientists from schools in Northwest Canada and Germany.
