The focus of the planned research is on permafrost distribution and characteristics, and on associated landscape-forming processes. As an important component of the cryosphere and the only element that people live on year-round, permafrost is a critical part of the northern environment. Consequently, future permafrost change has been recognized as being one of the major consequences for the North of global warming.

计划研究的重点是永久冻土的分布和特征，以及相关的冻土形成过程。多年冻土是冰冻圈的重要组成部分，也是人类赖以生存的唯一环境要素，是北方生态环境的重要组成部分。因此，人们认识到，未来的永久冻土变化是全球变暖对北方的主要后果之一。
