APD - Perennial-ice observations

The presence of massive ice-lenses in periglacial areas can be a direct proof of permafrost occurrence. Such evidence from trenches or construction sites in high-mountain areas can provide useful information. Massive ice can also be observed in rockfall scars and can represents evidence of permafrost.

Supplemental Information: You can customize the template to suit your needs. You can add and remove fields and fill out default information (e.g. contact details). Fields you can not change in the default view may be accessible in the more comprehensive (and more complex) advanced view. You can even use the XML editor to create custom structures, but they have to be validated by the system, so know what you do :-)

OnLine resource: Alpine Permafrost Data website
The Alpine Permafrost Data (APD) is an on-line service for collecting and sharing permafrost data in the European Alps. The main goal of the database is to provide periodic, consistent and homogenized datasets on permafrost state and evolution. This website is addressed to all researchers, technicians and permafrost lovers working in the Alps. Registration, data submission and updating of permafrost evidence is encouraged as well as the active participation in open discussions and database development.
