MAIN ACTIVITIES
- Development of geoecological elements of environmental management in permafrost zones in conditions of climate change and industrial impact.
- Theoretical studies of thermal exchange processes between atmosphere and the active layer of permafrost rocks.
- Development of new methods and technics to ensure the stability of engineering structures at permafrost zones in conditions of global warming.
- Development of theoretical basis for the use of non-conventional thermal resources and natural cold at permafrost zones.
- Development of a structured approach using the statistical theory of strength to determine deformation and strength properties of frozen rocks in the arrays.
- Development of rheological models of frozen soil using methods of composite materials mechanics.
- Development and implementation of complex mathematical models of the geological environment, including thermal, filtration and mechanical components.
- Realization of stationary geocryological observations at sites of permafrost zone.
- Development of field study programs for university and specialized secondary school students in order to strengthen staffing and organizational framework of field and laboratory geocryological studies.
- Organization of permanent interagency scientific workshop on geocryological problems.
- Development of estimation procedure for geocryological hazards and risks.
