"These permafrost deposits are now melting and releasing their methane," said Maslin.

Thermosiphon piles enable to increase the stability and bearing capacity of permafrost foundation and to prevent the foundation from frozen expansion and thaw settlement.

As the industry puts more and more focus on developing and utilizing oil and gas resources in the paramos and permafrost zone, pipeline construction in the areas will be definitely accelerated.

Thermokarst failures occur when permafrost—a layer of frozen soil in Earth's polar regions—thaws and becomes unstable, possibly releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Permafrost is a thick layer of soil that remains frozen throughout the year.
