  • Trip Report Buryatia 2004
    BURYATIA & SOUTH-WESTERN SIBERIA 10/6-20/7 2004 Petter Haldén Sanders väg 5 75263 Uppsala, Sweden [email protected] The first two weeks: 14-16/6 Istomino, Selenga delta (Wetlands), 16/6-19/6 Vydrino, SE Lake Baikal (Taiga), 19/6-22/6 Arshan (Sayan Mountains), 23/6-26/6 Borgoi Hollow (steppe). Introduction: I spent six weeks in Siberia during June and July 2004. The first two weeks were hard-core birding together with three Swedish friends, Fredrik Friberg, Mikael Malmaeus and Mats Waern. We toured Buryatia together with our friend, guide and interpreter, Sergei, from Ulan-Ude in the east to Arshan in the west and down to the Borgoi Hollow close to Mongolia. The other 4 weeks were more laid-back in terms of birding, as I spend most of the time learning Russian. The trip ended in Novosibirsk where I visited a friend together with my girlfriend. Most of the birds were hence seen during the first two weeks but some species and numbers were added during the rest of the trip. I will try to give road-descriptions to the major localities visited. At least in Sweden, good maps over Siberia are difficult to merchandise. In Ulan-Ude, well-stocked bookshops sell good maps and the descriptions given here are based on maps bought in Siberia. Some maps can also be found on the Internet. I have tried to transcript the names of the areas and villages visited from Russian to English. As I am not that skilled in Russian yet, transcript errors are probably frequent! I visited Buryatia and the Novosibirsk area in 2001 too, that trip report is also published on club300.se.

    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. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.

  • System and Technical Basis for Introduction of Overpass Aerotrain Transport in the Transport System of the Region

The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate the adequacy of the technical and economic characteristics and consumer properties of the new overpass aerotrain transport to the geographical and climatic conditions of the region. It examines the opportunities and positive results of introducing a new mode of transport in the unified transportation system of the region in order to create favorable conditions for providing necessary transport sufficiency for its social and economic development. 1 Introduction Most regions of Siberia in Russia have inadequate transport sufficiency for a harmoni- ous social and economic development, for which it is necessary to form an effective transport system that is adequate to the landscape relief, climate pattern and the needs of business and population. For example, in the difficult geographical and climatic conditions of the Altai Mountains, it becomes necessary to abandon the formation of a traditional wheeled transport system that has technical, operational and economic performances that are not satisfactory for the time being. To ensure high efficiency of the transportation pro- cess in the transport system of the region, it is not enough to improve or modernize existing transport technologies, it is necessary to create fundamentally new transport technologies for the transportation of goods and passengers.

  • Late-Quaternary Diluvial Floodstreams in the Mountains of Altai and Tuva (Paleoglaciological Base, Geological Effect, Level of Problem Study)
    Lunar and Planetary Science XXXIII (2002) 1110.pdf LATE-QUATERNARY DILUVIAL FLOODSTREAMS IN THE MOUNTAINS OF ALTAI AND TUVA (PALEOGLACIOLOGICAL BASE, GEOLOGICAL EFFECT, LEVEL OF PROBLEM STUDY) A.N. Rudoy Tomsk State Pedagogical University Pr. Komsomolsky – 75, Tomsk, Russia, 634041; E-mail: [email protected] The first russians works on geological and geomorphologic consequences of giant basin ice-dammed lakes outbursts in Altai were published some 20 years ago. Using the methods of quaternary geology, geomorphology and paleoglaciology, it was found that during glacial Pleistocene such lakes occupied all the intermontane depressions of the Altai-Sayany mountain region, reaching their maximums almost simultaneously with glacial expansion maximums. Using the methods of simulation, magnitudes of melt water volume from glaciers of lake basins mountain frames in late Würm were estimated. Finally it was ascertained that a melt water volume had been increasing simultaneously with a glaciation area, and, for example, in basin of the Upper Chuya - the greatest in Altai Chuya intramontane depression, had exceeded the nowadays thawed flow 30 times (Rudoy, 1981; Rudoy and others, 1989). Thus a full basin filling to the highest lake terraces level took no more than 100 years, and then its cataclysmic outflow. It took the ice-dammed lake of Kurai no more than 30 years to be filled. Filling duration of Hubsugul and Darhat late quaternary ice-dammed lakes was of the same order (Grosswald, 1987, 1999). It seems that a filling and catastrophic evacuation period of basin ice-dammed lakes for about a hundred years was common to all of Siberian mountain territories that is quite clear taking into consideration similar hydroclimatic and orographic conditions of the region nowadays and in Pleistocene alike.

  • Catastrophic Floods on the Southern Tributaries of Lake Baikal and Features of the Atmospheric Circulation
    SI: “The 4th International Conference Limnology and Freshwater Biology 2020 (4): 564-565 DOI:10.31951/2658-3518-2020-A-4-564 Palaeolimnology of Northern Eurasia” Short communication Catastrophic floods on the southern tributaries of Lake Baikal and features of the atmospheric circulation Sinyukovich V.N.1*, Latysheva I.V.2, Makukhin V.L.1,2 1 Limnological Institute, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ulan-Batorskaya Str., 3, Irkutsk, 664033, Russia 2 Irkutsk State University, K. Marx Str., 1, Irkutsk, 664003, Russia ABSTRACT. We discuss the conditions for the formation of significant floods on the highly humid Hamar-Daban slope of the Baikal basin. There is historical data on the maximum water discharges of rivers, which were observed in 1971. We characterize synoptic conditions for the flash flood-forming rainfall in July 2019. There are several changes in the modern circulation of the upper atmospheric layers causing the blocking of cyclones and an increase in the duration of rains. Keywords: flood, runoff rate, heavy rainfall, cyclogenesis. The most significant rain floods on the rivers a significant increase in the water discharges and often flowing into the southern part of Lake Baikal are the formation of mudflows. recorded for the watercourses flowing down from Analysis of the Russian meteorological service the northern slope of the Hamar-Daban ridge. The (Rosgidromet) data on regime monitoring indicates high humidity of this territory is primarily owing to the high average runoff modulus of the Hamar-Daban the openness (windwardness) of the slope for the rivers (Table) reaching 20-25 l/(s·km2), with its average prevailing moisture transport as well as to the lowering value for the Baikal basin of approximately 4 l/(s·km2) of the Primorsky Ridge in the source of the Angara (Afanasiev, 1976).
