Muon Tomography of Ice-filled Cleft Systems in Steep Bedrock Permafrost: A Proposal
arXiv:1008.1241
Abstract
In this note, we propose a novel application of geoparticle physics, namely using a muon tomograph to study ice-filled cleft systems in steep bedrock permafrost. This research could significantly improve our understanding of high alpine permafrost in general and climate-permafrost induced rockfall in particular.
