  1. Regional and Country Reports of GTN-P National Correspondents GTN-P National Correspondents Workshop, Geneva 6-8 May 2013

  2. Austria • Number of boreholes (depth class): • 8 boreholes at 2 sites • SU (surface, <10 m) = 0 • SH (shallow, 10-25 m) = 6 • IB (intermediate, 25-125 m) = 2 • DB (deep, >125 m) = 0 Kitzsteinhorn (3.203 m) Drilling 2010/2011, Instrumentation 2013 (ongoing) Sonnblick (3.106 m) Drilling 2005, Instrumentation 2006

  3. Austria • Data example I: Sonnblick • Special characteristics: • Live data for 6 of 8 boreholes • Improved method for borehole temperature measurement • Problems/challenges • Lightning stroke & water entry • Outlook • Increased collaboration on national/international level • Increased focus on bedrock permafrost Depth (m) Temperature (°C) • Data example II: Kitzsteinhorn B5 B4 B4 (18m): -1.4°C B5 (18m): -1.0°C

  4. 121 46 22 5 SU MAGT 2007-09 CANADA 194 Boreholes throughout northern Canada • 8 CALM sites currently being maintained • 100x100m grids established at 7 sites - no measurements during the last years SH IB SH

  5. Central Mackenzie Valley High Arctic CANADA • Problems/ challenges • Remote areas, logisticalchallenges, accessibility, limited resources • Damagedequipment (animals) • Not possibletovisit all siteseveryyearwhichpresentsissuesfor CALM sites (gridsabandoned) • Outlook: where do youseeyourcountry in 10 years? • Maintenance ofcorenetworkandcontinueddatacollection • Special characteristics: • dataloggers on mostboreholesallow high resolutioncontinuousdatacollection • longestrecord 34 years • partnerships essential

  6. China

  7. Greenland • Number of boreholes (depth class): • 27 boreholes in 6 areas • SU (surface, <10 m) = 21 • SH (shallow, 10-25 m) = 3 • IB (ntermediate, 25-125 m) = 1 • DB (deep, >125 m) = 2 • Number of CALM grids (class) • 1 installations at 1 site • 1000x1000 m = 0 • 100x100 m = 1 • Thaw tubes = 0 • Transects = 0 • Other (please specify) = 0 Kim Fjelde (1) Thule (1) Zackenberg (11) You could enter a map or figure here Ilulissat (4) Kangerlussuaq (6) Sisimiut (4)

  8. Greenland Data example • Problems/ challenges • Frost heave, broken cables, replacement boreholes. • Logistics, coverage, snow properties. • Outlook: Greenland in 10 years • Improved coverage, Deep boreholes, Climate and Snow properties Uumannaq Qeqertarssuaq Ilulissat MAAT = -3.9ºC MAAT = -2.7ºC MAAT = -8.4ºC Kangerlussuaq Sisimiut Maniitsoq Nuuk MAAT = -4.4ºC MAAT = -1.9ºC After Brown et al. 1997

  9. FRANCE - Alps Aiguille du Midi • Number of boreholes (depth class): • 6 boreholes at 2 sites • SH - horizontal boreholes in high altitude rockfaces, 3800 m a.s.l., 10 m deep = 3 • SH – vertical borholes in ice-rich rockglacier, 2700 m a.s.l.15 m deep = 2 • IB – vertical borehole in bedrock, 3065 m a.s.l.100 m deep = 1 • DB (deep, >125 m) = 0 • Number of CALM grids (class) • No CALM grid • ALT measured in boreholes Les 2 Alpes

  10. FRANCE - Alps Data example: Temperatureevolution at 10 m depth • Special characteristics: • 3 very different typesofboreholes: vertical/horizontal, bedrock/rockfaces/ice-rich rockglacier • Problems/ challenges • Long-termmaintenanceofsensorchains • 1 moreboreholeat least isneededfurthersouth • Outlook: where do youseeyourcountry in 10 years? • PermaFRANCE shouldbecome a labelled „observingsystem“

  11. Germany • Number of boreholes (depth class): • 6 boreholes at 6 sites (alpine/arctic) • SU (surface, <10 m) = ? • SH (shallow, 10-25 m) = 3 • IB (ntermediate, 25-125 m) = 2 • DB (deep, >125 m) = 1 • Number of CALM grids (class) • To be checked • 1000x1000 m = xx • 100x100 m = xx • Thaw tubes = xx • Transects = xx • Other (please specify) = xx You could enter a map or figure here

  12. Germany • Special characteristics: • Horizontal N/S borehole in the Zugspitze „pyramid“ (2962 m a.s.l.) • Problems/ challenges • Full inventory of small boreholes • Systematic coverage of all long-term study sites (Siberia, Canada, Alpine) with boreholes • Outlook: where do you see your country in 10 years? • More comprehensive borehole network including all long-term monitoring sites – combination with geophysical 2D/3D monitoring
