This is and a cooperation project involving Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK, Germany) and University of Zurich (UZH, Switzerland). Topics of research will include the mathematical modeling and simulation of the development of the heat transfer in permafrost soil under different climate-induced temperature scenarios, including the impact of snow coverage, shrubbery and fire. Another topic is related to the identification of soil parameters that determine energy fluxes and permafrost dynamics using inverse problems techniques. The developed algorithms and methods will be integrated into the LPJmL Dynamic Global Vegetation Model. Close cooperation with the partners at PIK and UZH is required, which will involve not only visits to the project partners but also participation in field work.
