Investigations were carried out in the Don, Upper Oka, Middle Volga basins, the Ural Foreland, souther part of the West-Siberianplain and in Soviet Central Asia and Georgia. 15 Pleistocene stages are identified with the corresponding stratigraphic
The A. argues for two epochs of weathering crusts formation within the mountain regions south of the WestSiberianPlain, that are Late Cretaceous - Eocene and Oligocene - Miocene. On that assumption a model is suggested of the development
Analyse de la position géographique du front polaire situé au-dessus des plaines russes en été (1948-1960, 1961-1990, 1991-2007). La position du front polaire est déterminée par rapport aux centres des cyclones et par rapport au module horizontal
d’un gradient de température. Les AA. ont détecté le déplacement du front polaire vers le sud par rapport à sa position de 1948 à 1990 au-dessus de la plaine d'Europe orientale et son déplacement vers le nord au-dessus de la plaine de Sibérie

The objectives of this study were : 1) identification and mapping of different landforms and soil-geomorphic units in the Lower Gangetic Plains of West bengal, and construction of a soil chrono-association for the area; 2) deciphering the major soil

The present paper examines the relationships between soil properties and their geomorphic position in the Tiko plain. The emphasis is on the mineralogy and the exchange properties of the soils.

Hydrographic characteristics of the Strokdammane plain, west Spitsbergen, Svalbard
Give a description of some of the forms and processes characterizing the shores of both small ponds and larger lakes of an area representative for the west coast of Spitsbergen. This study is based upon field studies and inventories performed during

Soil formation on sand-gravel moraines and sorted marine and coastal sediments is discussed. Renzinas are associated with the elevated areas of the islands and saline gley soils on the coastal plains. The Rendzina profile develops in a few centuries

is about few hundreds meters (no matter what lower limit of the Cenozoic stage is assumed). The A. introduced a correction which he used for neotectonic mapping of the Siberian Platform. Using the correction, the vast area of neotectonic downwarping (about
half of the whole platform area) has been contoured, which is both of applied an certain theoretical importance. Application of the proposed methods to other plain areas may give similar results.
Three types of fronts: the Pacific Polar front (Bain front), Eurasian Polar front and Siberian-Canadian Arctic front. Ten-day locations of each front, and precipitation distribution are compared. The Pacific Polar frontal zone which stagnates over
Central China and southern coast of Japan during the Bain season, shifts north from mid-July to mid-August. It brings much rain over North China Plain, Primosky and Sakhalin during mid-summer. While, the locations of other frontal zones change little
