Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5655.
This project aims to investigate the three-dimensional subsurface structures in the vicinity of active retrogressive thaw slumps and their relationship to spatio-temporal slump-development. The number and activity of retrogressive thaw slumps have increased during the last decades due to climatic, hydrologic and ther...
