Modelling borehole temperatures in Southern Norway – insights into permafrost dynamics during the 20th and 21st century

This study aims at quantifying the thermal response of mountain permafrost in southern Norway to changes in climate since 1860 and until 2100. A transient one-dimensional heat flow model was used to simulate ground temperatures and associated active layer thicknesses for nine borehole locations, whi...
