Сочавы СО РАН, г. Иркутск, Россия Карбонатные новообразования в почвах Байкальского региона: процессы формирования и значение для палеопочвенных исследований Работа выполнена при поддержке РФФИ (проект № 17-04-00092). На данный момент вопросы, касающиеся строения, хронологии и специфики формирования педогенных карбонатов в резкоконтинентальных областях юга Восточной Сибири, остаются практически незатронутыми. Выполнено обобщение сформировавшихся за последние годы представлений о механизмах формирования карбонатных новообразований почв, а также их связи с условиями среды и процессами почвообразования. Оценены пути поступления карбонатов и основные факторы их аккумуляции в профиле почв. Описаны особенности вещественного и изотопного состава карбонатных новообразований в почвах, формирующихся в различных климатических условиях. На основании собственных исследований приводятся данные о разнообразии карбонатных аккумуляций в почвах Байкальского региона, их вещественном составе и роли в качестве палеогеографических индикаторов. Детально рассмотрены следующие формы карбонатных новообразований: ризолиты, игольчатый кальцит, гипокутаны, белоглазка, нодули, кутаны, лессовые куколки. Ключевые слова: карбонаты; педогенные карбонатные новообразования; стабильные изотопы; почвы; палеореконструкции. Введение Первостепенное значение при изучении эволюции почв имеет

    2021 ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 3 WELCOME TO THE GREAT AMERICAN ADVENTURE. The West isn’t just a direction. It’s not just a mark on a map or a point on a compass. The West is our heritage and our soul. It’s our parents and our grandparents. It’s the explorers and trailblazers and outlaws who came before us. And the proud people who were here before them. It’s the adventurous spirit that forged the American character. It’s wide-open spaces that dare us to dream audacious dreams. And grand mountains that make us feel smaller and bigger all at the same time. It’s a thump in your chest the first time you stand face to face with a buffalo. And a swelling of pride that a place like this still exists. It’s everything great about America. And it still flows through our veins. Some people say it’s vanishing. But we say it never will. It will live as long as there are people who still live by its code and safeguard its wonders. It will live as long as there are places like Yellowstone and towns like Cody, Wyoming. Because we are blood brothers, Yellowstone and Cody. One and the same. This is where the Great American Adventure calls home. And if you listen closely, you can hear it calling you. 4 CODYYELLOWSTONE.ORG CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 5 William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody with eight Native American members of the cast of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, HISTORY ca.
