When the method of resistivity soundings is applied in the research of permafrost number of problems with interpretation arise. This paper shows some theoretical and experimental results concerning the changes in shape of sounding curves for simplified models of permafrost. Properties of frozen rock material in relation to field resistivity data are discussed, too. Two examples of resistivity soundings performed in different geological and geographical conditions are presented and analysed.
