Abstract

The application PERMAKART of the glaciological information system KRYO on ARC/INFO plots supposed mountain permafrost distribution on any topographical map. Results of fieldwork since 1970 and surface analyses based on a digital terrain model (DTM) are used. In Switzerland PERMAKART could become a planning tool for decisions about possible occurrence of mountain permafrost because the DTM RIMINI is available for the entire country. Le module PERMAKART du système d'information glaciologique KRYO, développé sur ARC/INFO, trace la distribution potentielle du permafrost de montagne sur une carte topographique. Des données de terrain collectées depuis 1970, ainsi que des analyses basées sur un modèle numérique d'altitudes (MNA) sont utilisées. En Suisse, le MNA RIMINI couvrant l'ensemble du territoire, PERMAKART est susceptible de devenir un outil de planification et d'aide à la décision pour tous les travaux effectués.
