Abstract
Mountain permafrost is highly sensitive to changing air temperatures because they affect the thawing depth of the
annual active layer, as well as the time and speed of the refreezing process, mainly in the winter. The Long Term
Ecological Research Site (LTER) Niwot Ridge and the Critical Zone Observatory Site (CZO) Green Lakes in Colo-
rado, USA, with their high alpine tundra climate and vegetation, offer ideal conditions to study changes of mountain
permafrost. The sites provide high quality climate data, together with studies on permafrost since the 1970’s, which
make these places rather unique in the US. We present data from our studies on permafrost distribution using dif-
ferent geophysical techniques to portray the shallow subsurface. The data on permafrost and soil temperature are
compared with existing models of permafrost distribution and possible thermal degradation, as well as with older
data on the existence and distribution of permafrost at these sites. At some locations, we nd large differences when
compared to the older data and the prognostic model. Sites formerly indicated as permafrost in the 1970’s shifted
towards sites with annual ice lenses today. We discuss the results and attempt to discern if the observed change is a
direct consequence of the current rising air temperatures.
