• Seasonal dynamics of a permafrost landscape, Adventdalen, Svalbard, investigated by InSAR 

      Rouyet, Line; Lauknes, Tom Rune; Christiansen, Hanne H; Strand, Sarah Marie; Larsen, Yngvar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-19)
      Nordenskiöld Land in Central Spitsbergen, Svalbard is characterized as a high latitude, high relief periglacial landscape with permafrost occurring both in mountains and lowlands. Freezing and thawing of the active layer causes seasonal frost heave and thaw subsidence, while permafrost-related mass-wasting processes induce downslope ground displacements on valley sides. Displacement rate varies ...
    • Seasonal InSAR Displacements Documenting the Active Layer Freeze and Thaw Progression in Central-Western Spitsbergen, Svalbard

      In permafrost areas, the active layer undergoes seasonal frost heave and thaw subsidence caused by ice formation and melting. The amplitude and timing of the ground displacement cycles depend on the climatic and ground conditions. Here we used Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) to document the seasonal displacement progression in three regions of Svalbard. We retrieved ...
