Maps of permafrost distribution at small geographical scales                    commonly employ a classification in which high-latitude regions                 are subdivided on the basis of the areal continuity or dominance                of permafrost.  The utility of such maps is questionable because                classificatory criteria vary radically between different countries              and investigators.  A physically-based technique for delineating                latitudinal permafrost zones using explicit definitions and                     several variables known to influence permafrost development has                 had considerable success in replicating empirical results in areas              of North America where the distribution of permafrost is well                   known.  This investigation will extend this computational method                into the Soviet Union, the richest source of geocryological data,               will make a compilation of a standardized world permafrost map                  feasible and will facilitate comparison of past, present, and                   future permafrost geographies.
