Remote sensing measurements with their large spatial coverage and high spatial resolution are able to monitor precisely seasonal and long-term changes due to thawing/freezing of the active layer in permafrost. This information can be used in combination with in-situ measurements for a better understanding of active processes taking place in permafrost and different factors that contribute to these processes.
