Background Impacts of permafrost degradation (Graphic: Alfred-Wegener-Institut) Almost a quarter of the land surface of the northern hemisphere of the earth is characterized by permanently frozen soils [...] ecology and infrastructure are therefore critically important. The project Study sites (Graphic: Alfred-Wegener-Institut) The PermaRisk project aims to provide novel tools for the simulation of erosion and [...] crucial questions we will extend and improve the permafrost model CryoGrid3 developed by the Alfred Wegener Institute in cooperation with the University of Oslo. To ensure realistic model development,
