The Challenge

Understanding permafrost dynamics in operational and exploration areas requires large-scale time-series analysis beyond the capacity of conventional desktop GIS tools.

Approach & Methods

Designed a cloud-based multicluster computing workflow combining satellite-derived surface temperature and vegetation indices to detect permafrost change, integrated with mineral occurrence data.

Outcomes & Impact

Produced regional permafrost change maps with temporal analysis, providing environmental intelligence for operational planning and exploration.

Reflection

Climate-aware geospatial intelligence is no longer a research niche — it is operational necessity for any resource organisation working in northern or high-altitude environments.
