Description :
The use of tomographic geoelectrical measurements for the detection of ground ice occurrences in mountainous regions is evaluated. Because isolated ground ice occurences in a warming climate may be subject to rapid thawing, they present a future hazard in the context of thawing-permafrost-induced landslides and rockfalls. The method is applied to various types of permafrost occurences in the European Alps. The influence of topography, measurement geometry and different inversion parameters are discussed.
