Trace Elements and Stable Isotope Diagrams of Late Pleistocene Ice Wedges of Batagaika Yedoma, Central Yakutia Trace elements and stable isotope diagrams of Late Pleistocene ice wedges of Batagaika yedoma, Central Yakutia Yu.K.Vasil'chuk1 J.Yu.Vasil'chuk1 N. A. Budantseva1 A.C. Vasil'chuk1 1Department of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The subject of the study is the yedoma ice complex, which locates in the Batagaika depression, Sakha Republic, Russia. The oxygen and hydrogen stable isotope composition, and the content of the dissolved forms of minor and major elements were studied for the first time in ice-wedges of Batagaika depression, which makes the novelty of the study. The isotope composition of the two most saline ice-wedges located in the upper and lower parts of the Batagay depression indicates that they were formed in a close temperature range, the average winter temperature was close to –34/–35 °C, and the average January air temperature was –51/ –53 °C. The ice-wedge with the lowest content of all the trace elements was formed in more severe conditions, the average winter air temperature was close to -36 °C, and the average January air temperature was –54/–55 °C. Keywords: permafrost; ice wedge; oxygen isotope; hydrogen isotope; trace elements; East Siberia, Late Pleistocene The subject of the study is the yedoma, which is found lacustrine or taberal deposits, which are form horizontal in the Batagaika depression (67°34'49" N, 134°46'19" E), wedge 150-200 meters long and intruding into the located 10 km southeast of Batagai settlement (about 17 yedoma deposits and overlaying it. Yedoma deposits also km along the highway and about 4 km along the trail), in underlay triangle-shape deposits. Verkhoyansky District of the Sakha Republic, Russia. The upper yedoma unit contains narrow ice wedges 1.5-2 m width. From this part, we sampled ice wedge (IW №3) from the depth of 5-10 m (or 315-320 m a.s.l.). The ice has vertical layers with high content of sandy loam. Polygons are 4-5 m width and of 1.5-3 m height. The lower part of the yedoma from the depth of 65-73 m or 252-260 m a.s.l. ice wedge (IW №2) was sampled in detail. In this lower part, the ice wedges are yellowish- gray, diagonally-vertically-layered, with few soil inclusions, which are predominantly gray in color. Fig. 1. Location of the study site.

In particular, changes to local and global climate parameters influence vector and water-borne diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and tick-borne encephalitis. The Republic of Sakha in northern Russia is no exception. Long-term trends of increasing annual temperatures and thawing permafrost have corresponded with the northward range expansion of tick-species in the Republic. Indigenous communities living in these remote areas may be severely affected by human and livestock diseases introduced by disease vectors like ticks. To better understand the risk of vector-borne diseases in Sakha, we aimed to describe the Citation: Vladimirov, L.N.; increase and spatial spread of tick-bite cases in the Republic.

  • Survival of Indicator Species of the Mammoth Fauna Large Mammals in the Holocene of Yakutia (East Siberia, Russia)
    The 5th International Conference “Ecosystem dynamics in the Holocene” IOP Publishing IOP Conf. Series: Earth and Environmental Science 438 (2020) 012004 doi:10.1088/1755-1315/438/1/012004 Survival of indicator species of the mammoth fauna large mammals in the Holocene of Yakutia (East Siberia, Russia) G G Boeskorov Diamond and Precious Metals Geology Institute, SB RAS, Yakutsk, Russia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Global climate change at the end of the Pleistocene led to extinction across the huge territories of the Northern Hemisphere of indicator species of large mammals of the mammoth fauna. Undoubtedly, in some more densely populated regions, the mammoth fauna underwent pressure from Upper Paleolithic humans hunting activity. Previously it was thought that the megafauna of the “Mammoth complex” had become extinct in the territory of Yakutia by the beginning of the Holocene. However, the latest data indicate that extinction of the mammoth fauna was significantly delayed in the north of Eastern Siberia. Radiocarbon data show that wild horses inhabited the north of Yakutia during 5300–2200 cal yr BP. Musk oxen lived here about 3400 – 2600 cal yr BP. Some bison remains from Yakutia belong to the early Holocene. The following circumstances could have facilitated the survival of representatives of the mammoth fauna in Yakutia. The cool, dry climate in this region is favorable to steppe associations, the habitats of these mammals. The small number of Stone Age hunting tribes in the northern part of Yakutia was probably another factor that contributed to the survival of some mammoth fauna representatives. 1. Introduction It is well known that global climate change at the end of the Pleistocene led to the extinction across the huge territories of the Northern Hemisphere of indicator (or typical) species of the mammoth fauna.

Central Yakutia with the unique permafrost landscapes is a rich and large territory of sites of interest for the development of “scientific tourism” for explorers, researchers or eco-natural-tourists. There are three types of scientific tourism relevant for Central Yakutia: the aim of which is scientific research; the aim of which is practical training and education of students of educational institutions; the aim of which is introducing the history of scientific research, unique natural resources, historical and cultural heritage to a wide range of people. The objects of interest of scientific tourism – landscapes of Khangalassky region – are classified according the selected types of scientific tourism using methods of secondary sources analysis and field research.

    Advances in Engineering Research, volume 158 International Conference on Aviamechanical Engineering and Transport (AviaENT 2018) IMPROVED SYSTEM OF ADAPTATION OF MOTOR TRANSPORT FOR OPERATION IN EXTREMELY LOW-TEMPERATURE AREAS Egorova Tatyana Polikarpovna Delakhova Anna Mikhailovna Leading Researcher, Scientific-Research Institute of Senior Researcher, Scientific-Research Institute of Regional Regional Economy of the North Economy of the North North-Eastern Federal University North-Eastern Federal University Yakutsk, Russian Federation Yakutsk, Russian Federation 677000, Yakutsk, Lenin Ave., 1 677000, Yakutsk, Lenin Ave., 1 Abstract— The goal of research is to develop a Keywords— Arctic, accessibility by transport, cross- conceptual solution of the problem of transport vehicle country vehicles, snowmobile, ice roads, seasonality, climate adaptation to operation in the north and arctic regions of the Republic Sakha of (Yakutia) and to establish a I. INTRODUCTION business system to make the area more accessible for vehicles. Methodology and research technique are based Arctic zone of the republic is a place where transport on theories proposed by both national and foreign service is the hardest to provide. Natural transportation lines scientists and researchers, who addressed the issues of (rivers and seas) and temporary roads referred to as ice roads transport system development in the north regions, are used in the arctic zone of the Republic Sakha (Yakutia) technological forecasting, innovation management and (hereafter Yakutia) to transport goods and people. In the economic analysis. Efforts to adapt standard models of context of road impassibility and season-related functioning of vehicles for operation under Arctic conditions and to main means of transportation, their stable operation and introduce cross-country transport machines have adaptation to severe environment are crucially important.
