Assessment of thermal stabilisation measures based on numerical simulations at a Swiss Alpine permafrost site

DOI

This work presents the numerical study of the thermal stabilisation methods to slow this permafrost thawing, protecting from landscapes and infrastructure damaging at an alpine site. We investigate different methods based on passive and active cooling system. The best approach mixes both methods and manages heat flow, potentially allowing excess energy to be used locally. This dataset allows one to test and check the different thermal stabilisation methods.
