Dynamic of Permafrost Zone of Russia under Changing Climate Conditions
Recent changes of the global climate on the Earth are accompanied by negative geocryological and ecological consequences. Evaluation and development of prevented measures aimed at prevention of such consequences are of great interest among the scientists, politics, the public of Russia and foreign countries (Canada, Germany, USA, China, Japan, etc). In the continental regions of the Russian permafrost zone increase of annual air temperature in the second part of the XX century was clearly expressed and at the beginning of the XXI century reaches 1.5-2.7 °C. On Arctic plains and lowlands climate warming are displayed lower (up to 0.5-0.8 °C).
