Monitoring Permafrost in the Arctic- The contribution of the EO-PERSIST research project

The EO-PERSIST project, which falls under the category of Marie Curie Staff Exchanges and is funded by the European Union, aims to address the urgent need for understanding and monitoring the dynamics of permafrost in the Arctic due to the increasing challenges of climate change. The coordinating institution of the EO-Persist research program is the Harokopion University, with George P. Petropoulos, AssistantProfessor, as the Principal Investigator for the project. The goal of EO-PERSIST is to leverage existing services and technologies to create an enhanced ecosystem of Earth Observation databases for applications related to permafrost. By utilizing innovative tools and cloud platforms, the project aims to revolutionize the monitoring of permafrost, promoting methodologies and linking indicators to socioeconomic impacts.
