Description :
The AA. analyse the spatial and temporal variability in the active layer and the permafrost temperatures in relation to variations in the main natural factors, including meteorological, geomorphological, and geobotanic conditions. In contrast to previous publications on this problem, the AA. consider longer records of meteorological and geocryological data (up to 30 years). Spatial and temporal variations in the depth of seasonal thaw and soil temperatures in the tundra and taiga zones are outlined. Contemporary tendencies in permafrost degradation induced by climatic warming, changes in the snow cover depth, and anthropogenic impacts are shown.
