Geophysical methods are widely used to investigate the influence of climate change on alpine 10 permafrost. Methods sensitive to the electrical properties, such as electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), are the most popular in permafrost investigations. However, the necessity to have a good galvanic contact between the electrodes and the ground in order to inject high current densities is a main limitation of ERT. Several studies have demonstrated the potential of refraction seismic tomography (RST) to overcome the limitations of ERT and to monitor permafrost processes. Seismic methods are sensitive to contrasts in the seismic velocities of unfrozen 15 and frozen media and thus, RST has been successfully applied to monitor seasonal variations in the active layer. However, uncertainties in the resolved models, such as underestimated seismic velocities, and the associated interpretation errors are seldom addressed. To fill this gap, in this study we review existing literature regarding refraction seismic investigations in alpine permafrost permitting to develop conceptual models illustrating different subsurface conditions associated to seasonal variations.
