The Melnikov Permafrost Institute (Yakutsk, Russia), the Cold and Arid Regions Engineering and Environmental Research Institute (Lanzhou, China) and the Heilongjiang Institute of Cold Region Engineering (Harbin, China) are pleased to announce the Ninth International Symposium on Permafrost Engineering to be held in Mirny, Yakutia, in early October 2011.

We hope that the 2011 Symposium will bring together researchers and engineers who work in cold/permafrost regions to discuss the ways and means for early detection of adverse frost-related processes that may cause tremendous economic loss and environmental damage, as well as to provide climate change adaptation measures based on permafrost monitoring and experimental research on frozen soil/rock mechanics. read more
