Permafrost simulations for Adventdalen and Ny-Ålesund

Abstract

This report presents modeling of permafrost regime for cultural heritage objects in Adventdalen and Ny-Ålesund. Modeling is performed under the high emission scenario SSP5-8.5, and covers the period from the 1980s to 2100. 15 model scenarios characterized by different soil stratigraphies, drainage conditions and snow dynamics were simulated to represent the diverse conditions across Adventdalen and Ny-Ålesund. The results provide a data set which can be used to evaluate the risk to individual historical structures.
