Description
Summary:An urgent problem is climate change and marine conditions affecting the formation and evolution of the permafrost zone of the shelf and the continental border of the Russian Arctic. The results of long-term monitoring of the permafrost zone clearly demonstrate the degradation of frozen rocks in both continental and subaquatic conditions of the western sector of the Russian Arctic. The coastal-marine region of Western Yamal is the most vulnerable and therefore model territory with climatic changes. Against the background of the observed climate dynamics, the study of geoecological processes becomes especially relevant when drawing up long-term plans for the development of climate-dependent branches of economic activity.
