Seminar by Simon Filhol (Dept of Geosciences, University of Oslo):
Project Climaland: In the search of permafrost in the Southern Carpathians of Romania
Abstract: Romania is split in two by the Southern Carpathians (SC) mountain range reaching 2544 m high. In-situ geophysical measurements as well as the study of geomorphological features at high elevation indicate the presence of mountain permafrost. Based on two approaches, one data driven using ML models and another one physically based on reanalysis and physics model, we estimated the spatial extent of permafrost. The second approach also provides insights into the changes that occurred in terms of snow cover over the SC range from 1940 to 2020. We will present an overview of results from this 3-year project and the tool climate downscaling tool developed to perform the analysis.
The talk is in Aud 1 in the Geology Building. It is also possible to follow at Zoom.
Video link to the lecture will be sent to the mailing lists alle@geo and geohyd-info@geo. If you want to subscribe to the geohyd-info@geo list send an email to Anita.
