We kindly ask all PermaCOST members to answer the PermaCOST Survey before 19th of June 2026.
We encourage you to share the survey within your professional networks to help us reach a broader permafrost community.
The questionnaire was prepared as part of WG1 to map the expertise, research focus, data practices, and geographical distribution of professionals working on permafrost and related topics worldwide.
Objectives of the survey:
- Understand the diversity of the permafrost community.
- Map the scientific areas and methods, assess the types of collected and processed data, and their geographical distribution.
- Identify the current challenges in data acquisition and processing, the existing protocols and standards, the emerging trends, and the expectations for collaborations within PermaCOST.
- Collect key information to support the work planned in the other Working Groups (WG2-5).
