Abstract：Frozen soil is categorized as a "special"soil type in soil science.We use principles of philosophy to describe research issues,system types,discipline structure,research objectives and research methodology for geocryology in this paper,on the basis of problem types of geology and Russian theories of engineering geology.First,frozen soil is redefined,and then the re-search objectives of frozen soil are illustrated from their morphological diversity;secondly,three problem types in the field of frozen soil are generalized as follows:"issues of today","issues of yesterday"and "issues of tomorrow";thirdly,the research system of geocryology is divided into the permafrost-engineering system,and the permafrost-environment system,according to its system types and the dynamic change among engineering,frozen soil and environment,and the interaction and mutual con-ditioning of its various subsystems (circle)are expounded;fourthly,the prospection of theory and practice of geocryology is discussed in the framework of discipline structure of general engineering geology ;finally the research methods of geocryology are classified,and the interrelation between the frozen soil and other disciplines is explained.
