Abstract
Temperature monitoring of permafrost near underground oil pipelines allow estimating a permafrost thawing depth under structures, predicting the soil temperature over time and predicting the time of emergency, in case the latter one will occur in the future. Permafrost temperature monitoring is carried out in close proximity to the oil pipeline and at depths below the bottom of the layer of seasonal temperature fluctuations. The results of monitoring are processed according to the methodology described in the article.
