Live data from the Matterhorn and Jungfraujoch

24. Bern - SNF The PermaSense project launched by the Universities of Zurich and Basel, ETH Zurich and EPF Lausanne operates two networks of sensors that transmit wireless data. One of these sensor networks is on the Matterhorn. Over a period of several years, the small sensors will collect a series of data that includes rock movements, freezing and thawing processes and temperatures in the bedrock. The second network is on the Jungfraujoch. The technology used by the sensor networks offers new ways of collecting outstanding-quality data in difficult terrain. For example, the data can be used to investigate the processes underlying rock falls in permafrost zones as a result of climate changes.
