В Анадыре создают систему мерзлотного мониторинга

The development of a permafrost monitoring system is planned to be completed in Anadyr by the end of 2025. This was announced by Oleg Tregubov, a leading researcher at the North-Eastern Integrated Research Institute (SVKNII) of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Candidate of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences.

In 2025, the drilling of the missing wells and the installation of measuring equipment are planned.

We are talking about 35 wells with a depth of 10.5 m and 12 profiles with a length of 50-100 m.

A new approach to permafrost monitoring will allow short-term and long-term forecasting of the development of permafrost conditions and threats to urban infrastructure.

Tregubov noted that the system will model spatial models of seasonal and long-term temperature fields and determine the rate of talik formation at various depths. The pilot segment of the automated ground temperature monitoring network includes six wells.

Temperature measurements at depths of 1, 3, 5 and 10 m are transmitted to the server at six-hour intervals. Measurements are taken year-round and cover the seasonal temperature dynamics.

In the future, the system will be able to connect automated networks of other settlements in Chukotka. The device will operate in experimental mode for three years.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that Russia will improve the observation system at marine coastal stations of the hydrometeorological network for the Northern Sea Route.
