Country:Austria
Site:Kitzsteinhorn
Site Description:The Kitzsteinhorn is a 3.203 m high mountain peak in Central Austria. At the Kitzsteinhorn a total number of seven temperature boreholes have been drilled into permafrost-affected bedrock (calcareous mica-schist). Currently five boreholes (Kitzsteinhorn 1, 2, 3, 6, 7) are active. Temperature data is provided for Kitzsteinhorn 1, 2, 6, 7. Active layer data is provided for Kitzsteinhorn 2 and 6. All boreholes are operated within the research project "Open-Air-Lab Kitzsteinhorn". For more information refer to: https://www.georesearch.ac.at/en/home-en/open-air-lab-kitzsteinhorn-en/
