Kelet-Szibéria kriopedimentjeinek problémaja. (Some problems of the valley cryopediments in EasternSiberia)
In the permafrost zone of EasternSiberia gently inclined cryopediments'due to frost shattering, cryogenic slope development, derasion and nivation'are common. The cryopediments, although primarily formed in the Pleistocene, continue to develop
Morphotectonics of the Baikal rift valley, EasternSiberia, USSR
The Baikal rift valley, the central segment of the Baikal rift zone located in southern East Siberia, consists of two large depressions separated by an interdepressional uplift. The interdepressional uplift consists of subsiding residual steps

The paper examines implications of an oil pipeline development in EasternSiberia on the Evenki community in the Aldan district of the Republic of Sakha, Yakutia. It examines community concerns about potential environmental damage and impacts
Thermal conductivity of soils in the active layer of EasternSiberia
Active layer ; Asian part of Russia ; Forest fire ; Human impact ; Periglacial features ; Permafrost ; Sakha ; Siberia ; Soil properties ; Soil temperature
Landscape changes accompanied by changes in soil properties occur in Central Siberia as a result of forest fire, surface processes and human impact. A non-steady-state technique tested the thermal properties of Siberian soils. Thermal conductivity

Alluvial, fluvial, and organic deposits of the last interglaciation are exposed along numerous river terraces in northeast Siberia. The direction and magnitude of change in July temperatures agree with Atmospheric General Models, but the 126,000

The aim of this paper is to investigate various Holocene sediment records from a high-resolution core on the inner eastern Laptev Sea Shelf. The AMS C 14 chronology of the core allows reliable calculation of shelf sediment budgets. Because

The paleoclimatic record from bottom sediments of Lake Baikal (easternSiberia) reveals new evidence for an abrupt and intense glaciation during the initial part of the last interglacial period (isotope substage 5d). This glaciation lasted about
12,000 yr from 117,000 to 105,000 yr B.P. Lithological and biogeochemical evidence of glaciation from Lake Baikal agrees with evidence for the ice sheet in northwestern Siberia during this time period and also with cryogenic features within the strata
