Abstract
Probability of global climate wanning due to accumulation of greenhouse gases (dioxide carbon, methan et al.) in atmosphere is a problem of interest for mankind during last decades. [4, 18, 19, 22]. In case of climate warming forecasts realization one can expect significant changes in surface earth systems. Warming will inevitably result in corresponding response of permafrost which will begin to warm and melt. This will in turn cause irreversible landscape alternations, weakening of mechanical properties of superficial rocks, aggravation of all problems concerning reliability and stability of engineering structures. Investigation of the evolution of the temperature field in frozen rocks is becoming a topical problem in such situation.
