Permafrost, a pivotal component of the Arctic ecosystem, remains particularly vulnerable to the effects of global warming, exerting profound impacts on both environmental and socioeconomic facets. In the light of increasing challenges posed by climate change, understanding and monitoring the dynamics of permafrost regions in the Arctic have gained paramount importance. In response to this critical need, the EO-PERSIST project [https://eo-persist. eu/], a 4 years MSCA staff exchanges project funded by EU, aims to leverage existing services, datasets, and innovative technologies to establish a consistently updated ecosystem with Earth Observation (EO)-based datasets suitable for permafrost applications.

By harnessing advanced EO technologies, including innovative tools and datasets such as cloud platforms, and tapping into an extensive array of remote sensing datasets, EO-PERSIST aspires to revolutionize …
