Analysis and Development of Current Research on Permafrost

Abstract

In recent years, the research on permafrost is more and more in-depth. In China, with the expansion of infrastructure after China's economic reform, permafrost in high altitude areas has interfered with the construction of railways and houses. As a common resource in China, frozen soil has both advantages and disadvantages. At present, because of the existence of frozen soil layer, many infrastructure projects cannot be carried out smoothly, which has become a serious obstacle in the process of infrastructure construction. At present, the scientific community is trying to solve this problem. In fact, the existence of frozen soil layer is the most common phenomenon in nature. How to give full play to the nature of frozen soil and its value and role is a hot issue at present. The purpose of this paper is to discover the properties and problems of permafrost. Based on the research of scholars and the author's views on future trends, this paper briefly summarizes several properties of permafrost.
