Characteristics of the seasonal thawing of permafrost in Mongolia
Cryopedology ; Freeze-thaw cycle ; Mongolia ; Periglacial features ; Permafrost ; Season ; Soil science ; Summer ; Thawing
The paper presents the problem of the permafrost occurrence in Mongolia and discusses the processes of its summer thawing, depending on geographical environmental conditions. These problems are dealt with on the basis of literature and the present
Cultural identity ; International migration ; Kazakhstan ; Mongolia
The collapse of the Soviet Union changed the political, eonomic and social landscape of former Soviet republics and Mongolia. The loosening of internal and international migration restrictions is resulting in a redistribution of certain minority
group across Central Asia. Mongolian Kazakhs are one such group. Who comprise the Kazakhs of Mongolia and why they made multiple migrations between Mongolia and Kazakhstan since 1990. - (IfL)

This short paper represents a preliminary discussion on the distribution and thermal condition of permafrost and its hydrological role in an area along the southern boundary of discontinuous permafrost in Mongolia.
Geomorphological and sedimentological investigations in the lower reaches of the Orkhon River in northern Mongolia provide evidence for Late Pleistocene terraces, Holocene soil development, aeolian accumulation, soil erosion and slope wash
The AA. report a high-resolution pollen and Pediastrum record from sediments obtained from the bed of the Lake Bayanchagan, southern Inner Mongolia. Vegetation reconstruction is based on the objective assignment of pollen taxa to the plant
functional type (PFT), based on broad classes of plants defined by stature, leaf form, phenology and climatic thresholds. Inner Mongolia is situated at the limit of the present East Asian monsoon and patterns of vegetation and climate changes in that region
