Remote sensing (satellite observations) gives a great potential for detecting changes in permafrost in the context of Arctic warming. Satellites carry di erent sensors which are able to detect di erent characteristic of the land surface such as vegetation cover, surface temperature, surface moisture, snow cover, and topography. Remote sensing gives scientists direct information about ongoing environmental changes and are also often required as input for climate models.
