Morphotectonics of the Baikal rift valley, Eastern Siberia, 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
Kelet-Szibéria kriopedimentjeinek problémaja. (Some problems of the valley cryopediments in Eastern Siberia)
In the permafrost zone of Eastern Siberia 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

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
230 Th/U dating of frozen peat, Bol'shoy Lyakhovsky Island (Northern Siberia)

The ice-rich permafrost deposits on the coastal lowland in northeastern Siberia and on the New Siberian Islands often contain layers, lenses, and inclusions of peat that are too old to be dated by AMS. Application of 230 Th/U disequilibrium dating
Effects of prolonged irrigation on the humus of steppe soils in southwest Siberia
Asian part of Russia ; Humus ; Irrigation ; Soil ; Soil moisture ; Soil properties ; Steppe ; West Siberia
Changes in humus resulting from up to 20 years'irrigation with slightly saline water were studied in dry steppe soils in southwest Siberia. The amounts of brown humic acids and of the Pg fraction increased with the period of irrigation
Thermal conductivity of soils in the active layer of Eastern Siberia
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
