  • Pleistocene Glaciations of the Se Altai, Russia, Based on Geomorphological Data and Absolute Dating of Glacial Deposits in Chagan Reference Section

Koptyuga av., 3 2Ural Federal University, Russia, 620002 Yekaterinburg, Mira str., 19 Received 25 June 2016 Accepted 9 February 2017 Abstract: Geomorphological evidence of at least two Pleistocene glacial epochsis noted within the Chagan-Uzun river basin, SE Altai. A review and analysis of all available absolute dates for reference Chagan section is presented. The highest correlation amongst all TL dates is observed for the lens of glacio-lacustrine sediments – the most suitable among glacial deposits for luminescence dating, and indicates its possible Middle Pleistocene age. IRSL dates obtained from feldspar indicate a Middle Pleistocene age of moraines already in the upper part of the section. The small number of obtained IRSL dates does not allow making geochronological reconstructions of the Pleistocene glaciations, but gives the possibility for further experiments with different variation of OSL (IRSL) techniques. Strong low temperature peak in TL signal and strong response to IR stimulation are specific regional quartz features, which could be explained by combination of short transportation distance and low number of depositional cycles for mineral grains. Available radiocarbon dates of carbonate concre- tions from this section are not related to the age of moraine sedimentation and most likely indicate the period of the Chagan river incision into the ancient glacial deposits.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35.

  • Frost Weathering and Rock Platform Erosion on Periglaciallake Shorelines: a Test of a Hypothesis
    Frost weathering and rock platform erosion on periglaciallake shorelines: a test of a hypothesis RICHARD A. SHAKESBY & JOHN A. MATIHEWS Shakesby, R. A. & Matthews, J. A.: Frost weathering and rock platform erosion on periglacial lake shorelines: a test of a hypothesis. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 67, pp. 197-203. Oslo 1987. ISSN 0029-196X. Matthews et al. (1986) hypothesised that rock platforms around a short-lived ice-dammed lake margin in Jotunheimen, southem Norway, bad been rapidly eroded mainly through frost weathering associated with lake-ice development. They proposed a general model accounting for the development of the rock platforms in terms of deep penetration of the annua! freeze-thaw cycle, the movement of unfrozen lake water towards the freezing plane, and the growth of segregation ice in bedrock fissures below lake leve!. This paper presents a test of this hypothesis by observations of the shoreline of the present-day lake, which has been maintained at a lower, stable leve! since about A.D. 1826 when the ice dam was removed. The presence of cliff and platform development at the present lake shore supports and improves the hypothesis. For the modem platform, width measurements (mean 3.6 m, range 1.5-5.75 m) are similar to those for the relict platform, whereas calculated erosion rates (mean 2.2 cm/year, range 0.9-3.6 cm/ year) are overall slightly lower. The depth of water (0.9 m) at the cliff-platformjunction suggested for the formation of the relict platform is modified to 0.6 m in the light of the present results.

  • Areal Changes of Glacial Lakes from the Northern and Southern
    Session: C11 Poster: M116B Areal changes of glacial lakes from the Northern and Southern Patagonia icefields Thomas Loriaux; Jose Luis Rodriguez; Gino Casassa Centro de Estudio Cientificos, Chile Leading author: [email protected] Current melting of terrestrial glaciers is affecting the periglacial lake environment. The Patagonia icefields represent the largest temperate ice mass in the Southern Hemisphere outside of Antarctica. In this context, they play an important role in sea-level rise. The purpose of this paper is to quantify the areal changes of glacial lakes located at the periphery of the Northern and Southern Patagonia Icefields (NPI and SPI) experienced in recent decades. For this purpose we have realized an inventory of the Patagonian glacial lakes. Based on Landsat ETM+ scenes, the total glacial lake areas were estimated as 299 ± 19 km≤ for the NPI in 2001, and 3,900 ± 88 km≤ for the SPI in 2000. For SPI a total lake of area of 410 ± 30 km2 results for 2000 when the large eastern piedmont lakes (O'Higgins/San MartÌn, Viedma, Argentino including Brazo Rico) are not considered. At NPI there is only one tidewater calving glacier (San Rafael) located on the west. At SPI there are 27 large tidewater glaciers on the western side, with only a few land-terminating glaciers which give rise to periglacial lakes. Analysis of earlier satellite imagery (Landsat TM and Landsat MSS) shows a total lake area of 239 ± 26 km≤ for NPI in 1979, 3903 ± 89 km2 for SPI in 1986 including the large lakes, and 391 ± 29 km2 for SPI in 1986 excluding the large lakes.

  • Landscape Dynamics in the Eemian Interglacial and Early Weichselian Glacial Epoch on the South Valdai Hills (Russia) E.Yu
    44 The Open Geography Journal, 2010, 3, 44-54 Open Access Landscape Dynamics in the Eemian Interglacial and Early Weichselian Glacial Epoch on the South Valdai Hills (Russia) E.Yu. Novenko* and I.S. Zuganova Institute of Geography Russian Academy of Science, 119017, Moscow, Staromonetny, 29, Russia Abstract: The paper presents new results of detail pollen and macrofossil investigation of Late Pleistocene deposits in the Central Forest State Natural Biosphere Reserve (the south of Valdai Hills). According to obtained data the Eemian (Mikulino) Interglacial, the Weichselian (Valdai) glacial deposits occur in the territory of the Reserve. The main trends of landscape development were determined both by changes of pollen and macrofossil assemblages and on the base of analysis of fossil flora using Ellenberg’s scale. The typical forest successions of the Eemian Interglacial and short-term phases in the Interglacial\Glacial transition have been determined. The first post-Eemian cooling comprised several short stages of cooling and weak climatic ameliorations that point to general climatic instability in the initial part of this glacial epoch. Keywords: East Europe, pollen data, macrofossil, Eemian, Early Weichselian, palaeo-environmental reconstruction. INTRODUCTION international network of UNESCO biosphere reserves. This territory is located in the marginal part of the Weichselian The landscape dynamics during the last interglacial ice sheet, in the transitional zone from southern taiga to (Eemian, Mikulino) and the transitional phases to subsequent mixed coniferous-broadleaf forests. The vegetation cover is glacial epoch is a one of the important problems in represented by primary (not affected by human activity) Quaternary researches, being a possible analogue to the forest (southern taiga type) and swamp ecosystems.

  • Periglacial Lake Origin Influences the Likelihood of Lake Drainage in Northern Alaska
    remote sensing Article Periglacial Lake Origin Influences the Likelihood of Lake Drainage in Northern Alaska Mark Jason Lara 1,2,* and Melissa Lynn Chipman 3 1 Department of Plant Biology, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801, USA 2 Department of Geography, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801, USA 3 Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY 13244, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Nearly 25% of all lakes on earth are located at high latitudes. These lakes are formed by a combination of thermokarst, glacial, and geological processes. Evidence suggests that the origin of periglacial lake formation may be an important factor controlling the likelihood of lakes to drain. However, geospatial data regarding the spatial distribution of these dominant Arctic and subarctic lakes are limited or do not exist. Here, we use lake-specific morphological properties using the Arctic Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Landsat imagery to develop a Thermokarst lake Settlement Index (TSI), which was used in combination with available geospatial datasets of glacier history and yedoma permafrost extent to classify Arctic and subarctic lakes into Thermokarst (non-yedoma), Yedoma, Glacial, and Maar lakes, respectively. This lake origin dataset was used to evaluate the influence of lake origin on drainage between 1985 and 2019 in northern Alaska. The lake origin map and lake drainage datasets were synthesized using five-year seamless Landsat ETM+ and OLI image composites. Nearly 35,000 lakes and their properties were characterized from Landsat mosaics using an object-based image analysis. Results indicate that the pattern of lake Citation: Lara, M.J.; Chipman, M.L.
