About Permafrost Monitoring Network
The Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost keeps more than a thousand boreholes and two hundred-odd active-layer plots reporting from the Arctic. Its visual world is a retrogressive thaw slump on Herschel Island: massive ground ice near-white against ice-rich frozen silt, ice wedges in section, everything under flat overcast.
The output, though, is not landscape. It is temperature-depth profiles, logger records and thermokarst-lake change detection — charts, tables and core trays. This system builds an interface out of that: unsaturated greys, sub-zero slate, one warm orange for field kit, and depth running downward as the organising figure.
