(Modelling Spatial Dynamics of Permafrost at Diverse Scales)
Co-Chairs:
- Stephan Gruber, Switzerland stgruber@geo.unizh.ch
- Nikolay Shiklomanov, U.S.A. shiklom@udel.edu
Statement of Goals:
- Develop and evaluate theoretical and semantic aspects of modeling permafrost distribution under climatic change
- Emphasize scale (space, time, depth) and the treatment of sub-scale effects in models, model validation and map products, both in lowland and mountain environments
Activities:
Meetings will be held as noted above, with additional working meetings scheduled as opportunities present themselves
