The relevance of the stated subject of scientific research is due to the significant impact of climate change on the state of soils in the permafrost zone, as well as the need to develop and implement methods of geotechnical monitoring of residential buildings in Norilsk, in order to obtain reliable information about their current state and the consistency of permafrost soils on which such structures are built. The purpose of this research work is to study the features of the influence of climate change on the state of soils in the permafrost zone, taking into account the data obtained during the monitoring of the condition of residential buildings in the city of Norilsk. The basis of the methodological approach in this scientific study is a combination of methods of systematic analysis of the impact of climate change on the state of soils in the permafrost zone as a whole, with an analytical study of the data obtained during the geotechnical monitoring of the condition of residential buildings in Norilsk. In the course of this research work, results were obtained indicating the predominantly negative impact of climate change on the general condition of the soils of residential buildings in the permafrost zone, which necessitates research to find optimal solutions to eliminate this issue and improve the efficiency and quality of housing construction in permafrost regions, taking into account the prospect of a sharp change in climatic conditions in these regions. The results obtained in the course of this scientific study, as well as the conclusions formulated on their basis, have significant practical relevance for employees of geotechnical monitoring services of residential buildings in permafrost regions in general and in the city of Norilsk in particular, from the point of view of expanding the possibilities of assessing the real state of soils in these regions and preventing possible negative consequences caused by the negative effects of climate change on the general condition of soils under residential buildings.
