Factual Report - Permafrost Research Site
Two benchmark sites are established near Longyearbyen, Svalbard (78°13’N, 15°28’E) for long-term geotechnical testing and evaluation of field investigation methods in perennially frozen soils (i.e. permafrost). These sites, named “Adventdalen” and “UNIS East” based on their location, form part the r...
