Description :
This paper uses a GIS-based empirical-statistical approach to investigate permafrost distribution in the Sierra de Telera. It employs BTS measurements as input data, and evaluates the relative importance of several controlling variables (solar radiation, elevation and snow cover persistence) on permafrost distribution.
