Norilsk Nickel and the Polar State University have created their own regional permafrost background monitoring system in the territory stretching from Talnakh to Dudinka.
The information obtained will be used to predict the effects of climate change on permafrost and prevent negative impacts on the economy and people's lives. The data will help ensure the safety of infrastructure in permafrost areas, the press service of Norilsk Nickel reported.
The problem of permafrost melting is relevant for the whole world. In Russia, where frozen soils occupy 65% of the territory, it is especially important to monitor these changes.
