Аннотация:An increase in air temperature and the duration of the thermal season leads to a significant transformation of the relief and landscapes of the Arctic. The rate of degradation of permafrost, which causes profound changes in the Arctic landscape, depends on air temperature, vegetation cover, soil type, surface and groundwater. The existing international circumpolar programs dedicated to monitoring the temperature state of permafrost TSP (Thermal State Permafrost) and the thickness of the active layer CALM (Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring) are insufficient for a comprehensive characterization of geocryological conditions. In this study, we consider examples of integrated studies on geocryological test sites created by the Department of Geocryology of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov in the European North of Russia.
