Abstract
The probabilistic-statistical method is applied to study the causes of the thermokarst distribution heterogeneity along the long linear constructions. A list of natural conditions affecting the development of thermokarst along an oil pipeline is discussed. The methodology for zoning buffer area of long-distance linear constructions (e.g., oil pipeline) according to the conditions of thermokarst development is substantiated. We have delineated thermokarst-susceptible and thermokarst-tolerant areas along the oil pipeline buffer zone according to the environmental conditions.
