Coastal Permafrost Profile About 34% of the world's coasts are affected by Arctic permafrost and are particularly sensitive to climate change. The frozen cliffs lose their cohesion, which is ensured by [...] ble to quantify the amount of eroded sediment and organic material more accurately. The group "Permafrost Coasts" investigates the velocity and character of sediment and organic matter transport into the [...] echosounder bathymetry: to quantify the content of particulate and dissolved organic material in permafrost sediments and their bottom ice and to characterize its spatial variability; to quantify the velocity
Spitsbergen. We had two main goals: Firstly, we maintained the Bayelva permafrost observatory where multiple air, snow, soil, and permafrost parameters have been measured since 1998. And secondly, we measured [...] elevations using a high-accuracy GPS antenna to estimate surface subsidence resulting from thawing permafrost. In addition, we visited research sites of local and international partners and discussed scientific
