In 2007 ConocoPhillips Russia Inc. established the program of supporting
International Polar Year projects with Moscow State University Geography Department students and professors. The company set up grant programs for permafrost research workshops in Western Siberia, West Taimyr, Enisey river (Dudinka-Dixon).
International Permafrost Field Courses in the frames of the International Polar Year program was arranged for students and Phd students, representing three Universities of the two countries: Russia (Moscow State University; Tyumen Oil and Gas University), and Germany (Hamburg University).One of the goals of 2008 field course was to figure out the logic of development of permafrost in different types of natural environment, enucleation of genetical and functional links among processes and phenomena of the permafrost territories in the North of West Siberia, Yamalo-Nenetsky Autonomous region. In the process of searching, extraction of gas and construction in the North of Western Siberia Russian specialists tackled a lot of geoecological and permafrost engineering problems. Thus a unique experience of building in complex ground and permafrost conditions was gained.

| The goal of the field trip was to study the contemporary permafrost state, ground ice specifics and paleogeographical reconstructions. During the expedition Pleistocene-Holocene deposits of different genesis were investigated in exposures, pit and boreholes. Contemporary cryogenic processes of Western Taymyr coastal zone were studied, such as coastal dynamics, ice wedges, and thermokarst. It is possible to see that for the last several decades the degradation of permafrost is observed in explored region.This 16-day course was held on board the “Sovetskaya Arctika” vessel, which sailed on the Yenisei River and in the Yeniseyskiy Bay from the town of Dudinka to the port of Dikson on the Arctic Coast of the Kara Sea |
