BRIEF PREHISTORY OF PROJECT
Research conducted in the Usa basin under the EC-funded TUNDRA project (described in this brochure) revealed an urgent need to explicitly include the permafrost component. Permafrost which was highly dynamic in the region of interest had to be taken into account in hydrological modeling, studying treeline dynamics and other TUNDRA tasks. Therefore, PERUSA project had been developed.
