Here we present results of from an on-going fieldexperiment, where the active layer dynamics are monitored using direct current (DC) resistivity and inducedpolarization (IP) measurements at high temporal resolution. These DC/IP measurements are supplemented bypore water analysis, continuous ground temperature monitoring (0-150 cm depth) and structural information fromground penetrating radar (GPR).The study site (N69◦15′, W53◦30′, 30 m a.s.l.) is located at a Vaccinium/Empetrum heath tundra area nearthe Arctic Station on Qeqertarsuaq on the west coast of Greenland. Mean air temperatures of the warmest (July)and the coldest (February–March) months are 7.1 and –16.0◦C, respectively. The DC/IP monitoring system wasinstalled in July 2013 and has since been acquiring at least 6 data sets per day on a 42-electrode profile with 0.5 melectrode spacing. Recorded data include DC resistivity, stacked full-decay IP responses and full waveform dataat 1 kHz sampling frequency. The monitoring system operates fully automatic and data are backed up locally anduploaded to a web server.Time-lapse DC resistivity inversions of data acquired during the freezing period of October – December2013 clearly image the soil freezing as a strong increase in resistivity. While the freezing horizon generally movesdeeper with time, some variations in the freezing depth are observed along the profile. Comparison with soiltemperature measurements at different depths indicates a linear relationship between the logarithm of electricalresistivity and temperature. Preliminary time-lapse inversions of the full-decay induced polarization (IP) dataindicate a decrease of chargeability with freezing of the ground. Once laboratory analysis of the pore water isavailable, we will assess if these changes in chargeability are caused by geochemical changes of the pore water.
