Thawing permafrost, resulting either from climate warming or land use changes, can produce stability and serviceability issues for airport runways, railway beds, highway embankments, and river crossings. Expanding northern transportation infrastructure systems will require improved design, construction and maintenance operations. Research is needed to develop innovative technologies and mitigation strategies related to the effects of climate change on northern transportation infrastructure (which refers to infrastructure built on permafrost).

由于气候变暖或土地利用变化导致的永久冻土融化，可能会对机场跑道、铁路路基、公路路堤和河流过境点产生稳定性和可使用性问题。扩大北方交通基础设施系统将需要改进设计、建设和维护操作。需要进行研究，以开发与气候变化对北方运输基础设施（指建立在永久冻土上的基础设施）的影响有关的创新技术和缓解战略。
