Permafrost in Austria: Impact of climate change on alpine permafrost and related hydrological effects - Final Report
The aim of this project is the quantitative assessment of alpine permafrost in a welldefinedcatchment area, the impact of permafrost on climate warming and theestablishment of a hydrological model to understand the associated changes. Themulti-disciplinary project combines methods from geology, hydr...
