Permafrost-based geomorphology of the Mt. Foscagno - Mt. Forcellina ridge (Adda–Inn River basins, Central Italian Alps)

The permafrost-based geomorphological map of the Mt. Foscagno–Mt Forcellina ridge (Central Italian Alps) shows the distribution of permafrost probability (high, medium, low probability, and probable absence) obtained by the application of PERMACLIM (Guglielmin et al., 2003), a GIS-based model integr...

Description
Summary:The permafrost-based geomorphological map of the Mt. Foscagno–Mt Forcellina ridge (Central Italian Alps) shows the distribution of permafrost probability (high, medium, low probability, and probable absence) obtained by the application of PERMACLIM (Guglielmin et al., 2003), a GIS-based model integrating Digital Elevation Model (DEM) topographic data and the Climatic DataBase (CDB) available from Automatic Weather Stations (AWS). In addition, the map provides information on the outcropping bedrock, the genesis and grain size of near-surface deposits, and geomorphological features with particular reference to periglacial and glacial landforms. Moreover, the map represents locations and values of ground measurements, Bottom Temperature of winter Snow cover (BTS) and Vertical Electric Soundings (VES), and the Mean Annual Air Temperature (MAAT; Guglielmin et al., 2003).
