PermFrost

Predict ground settlement from permafrost thaw under climate warming scenarios

Environmental AIFree

PermFrost models thaw consolidation settlement in permafrost soils under projected warming scenarios using Stefan equation thaw depth calculations coupled with one-dimensional consolidation theory. The tool ingests borehole temperature profiles and soil ice content data to compute excess ice volume available for settlement. Infrastructure vulnerability assessment maps thaw settlement risk along linear corridors for pipeline, road, and railway routing decisions in Arctic regions.
