The progress in the worldwide permafrost monitoring activity is a result of close and long-term cooperation between the scientists, research institutes and various organizations. There are number of leading international projects, including the GTN-P (Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost), CALM (Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring), ACD (Arctic Coastal Dynamics), TSP (Thermal State of Permafrost) and others. The short review of the Russian activities is presented. The huge database about the long-term dynamics of permafrost parameters is very useful, especially due to the similar research organization concept. The next improvement should be the closer interaction with the National Weather Observation Services.
