Permafrost Favorability Index: Spatial Modeling in the French Alps Using a Rock Glacier Inventory

In the present study we used the first rock glacier inventory for the entire French Alps to model spatial permafrost distribution in the region. Climatic and topographic data evaluated at the rock glacier locations were used as predictor variables in a Generalized Linear Model. Model performances ar...
