Abstract
The approach of geocryological risk estimation is considered. Depending on the situation, scale and accuracy of investigations the special accent in geocryological situation diagnostics is choosing. These accents are the cryolithology, the ground temperature regime and the geocryological processes’ dynamics. The change of geocryological conditions leads to engineering structure damages, loss of the sustainable economic development, loss of natural resources, and the violation of environmental laws. The spatial and temporal factors must be taken into account separately in the risk estimation procedure. The recurrent risk assessment is important at the different stage of the enterprise life cycle.
