Towards precise drone-based measurement of elevation change in permafrost terrain experiencing thaw and thermokarst

Measuring ground elevation changes plays a crucial role in several environmental applications. For instance, permafrost soils undergo seasonal active layer freezing and thawing that causes cyclic elevation changes. Permafrost thaw can result in unidirectional ground subsidence, which may be gradual...
