Figure 3: Geohazard indices in an orthographic projection showing near-surface permafrost degradation related risks to infrastructure.
From: Circumpolar permafrost maps and geohazard indices for near-future infrastructure risk assessments
Displayed here, in a moderate Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 scenario for 2041-2060 and 2061–2080, are settlement index Is (a,b, refs71,72), risk zonation index Ir (c,d, ref.75), AHP (analytic hierarchy process based index) Ia (e,f) and consensus of the three Ic (g,h). Each index consists of three mutually exclusive classes delimiting areas of low, moderate and high hazard potential.
