The analysis of these data definitely indicates that the geomagnetic field in the Devonian had a specific character, different from both the present field and the field of more ancient geological epochs, and was extremely variable (hyperactive). The anomalies in the paleomagnetic record of the Early–Middle Devonian are not local, peculiar to a particular region, but have a global occurrence. The synthesis of the obtained results with the paleomagnetic data from the coeval volcanics from Scotland shows that during a relatively short time (10–20 Ma), the geomagnetic pole repeatedly changed its location, significantly deviating from the Earth’s rotation axis up to the (paleo)equator and assuming some quasi-stable positions. The arguments suggesting that the specific features of the Devonian paleomagnetic record could probably be induced by the significant contribution

    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. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps.

For the first time, such large-scale observations were made as part of a joint American-Russian expedition in July and August of 1995, when concentrations of radionuclides, heavy metals, and oil hydrocarbons were assessed. The results of this study were obtained as part of the Russian hydrochemical expedition in July and August, 2019. For in situ measurements and sampling at 14 sampling sites, three optical spectral instruments and appropriate software were used, including big data processing algorithms and an AYRS simulation model.

Email: [email protected] Abstract A nested July-June precipitation reconstruction for the period AD 1777-2012 was developed from multi-centurytree-ring records of Pinus sylvestris L. (Scots pine)for the Republic of Khakassia in Siberia, Russia. Calibration and verification statistics forthe period 1948-2012show a high level of skill, and account for a significant portion of the observed variance (>50%)irrespective of which period is used to develop or verify the regression model. Split-sample validation supports our useof a reconstruction model based on the full period of reliable observational data (1948-2012). Thresholds (25th and 75th percentiles) based on the empirical cumulative distribution 1948-2012 observed precipitation were used to delineate dry years and wet years of the long-term reconstruction. The longest reconstructed dry period, defined as consecutive years with less than25thpercentile of observed July-June precipitation, was 3 years (1861-1863). There was no significant difference in the number dry and wet periods during the 236 years of the reconstructed precipitation. Maps of geopotential height anomalies indicate that dry years 1 differ from wet years primarily in the location of an anomalous 500 mb ridge approximately over the study area.

The region has a history of strife including the Russian occupation of Japanese northern islands, the separation of the Koreas as result of Korean War and the Japanese invasion of China during the World War II. Economic connections and political cooperation in this region was minimal during the entire Cold War. Energy producing countries did not export to key consumers in the region. Russian Siberia is bestowed with huge hydrocarbon resources and serves as a large non- OPEC producer competing with OPEC.

It spans Remoteness three federal units in the Russian Federation: the national republics of Tyva (Todzha kozhuun) and Buryatia Roads (Okinskii raion), as well as Irkutsk oblast (Tofalarskoe municipality). Attempts at integration by the state during Mobility the Soviet period and afterwards have privileged the construction of roads in a variety of forms to connect these Sayan crossroads areas economically with regional centers and, in turn, the rest of the country. Yet this process has been uneven Siberia and led to divergences in the economic regimes in each of the three regions that make up the crossroads. The Russia evolution of subsistence economies, exploitation by extractive industries, and the development of tourism as an alternative source of income all differ across the three federal subunits. In turn, these divergences within the crossroads as a region point to variation in the condition of remoteness. Remoteness is an instance of relative immobility, determined by physical geography, environment, and ethnicity.
