The lake's most important tributary is the Selenga River, which contributes about 50% of the influx into Lake Baikal and has a consierable part of its runoff generated in the Mongolian part of its basin (Chalov et al. 2015; Karthe et al. 2013). Together with the Angara and Yenisey rivers it forms the longest river network in Eurasia and has been widely recognized as a signifi- cant driver for the state of Lake Baikal.

International Journal of Geography and Geography Education (IGGE), 43, 365-385. Submitted: October 07, 2020 Revised: November 01, 2020 Accepted: November 16, 2020 GEOGRAPHY OF THE TRANS-BAYKAL (RUSSIA) REGION Trans-Baykal (Rusya) Bölgesi’nin Coğrafyası Reyhan Rafet CAN1 Öz Zabaykalskiy Kray (Bölge) olarak isimlendirilen saha adını Rus kâşiflerin ilk kez 1640’ta karşılaştıkları Daur halkından alır. Rusçada Zabaykalye, Balkal Gölü’nün doğusu anlamına gelir. Trans-Baykal Bölgesi, Sibirya'nın en güneydoğusunda, doğu Trans-Baykal'ın neredeyse tüm bölgesini işgal eder. Bölge şiddetli iklim koşulları; birçok mineral ve hammadde kaynağı; ormanların ve tarım arazilerinin varlığı ile karakterize edilir. Rusya Federasyonu'nun Uzakdoğu Federal Bölgesi’nin bir parçası olan on bir kurucu kuruluşu arasında bölge, alan açısından altıncı, nüfus açısından dördüncü, bölgesel ürün üretimi açısından (GRP) altıncı sıradadır. Bölge topraklarından geçen Trans-Sibirya Demiryolu yalnızca Uzak Doğu ile Rusya'nın batı bölgeleri arasında bir ulaşım bağlantısı değil, aynı zamanda Avrasya geçişini sağlayan küresel altyapının da bir parçasıdır. Bölgenin üretim yapısında sanayi, tarım ve ulaşım yüksek bir paya sahiptir. Bu çalışmada Trans-Baykal Bölgesi’nin fiziki, beşeri ve ekonomik coğrafya özellikleri ele alınmıştır. Trans-Baykal Bölgesinin coğrafi özelliklerinin yanı sıra, ekonomik ve kültürel yapısını incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda konu ile ilgili kurumsal raporlardan ve alan araştırmalarından yararlanılmıştır. Bu çalışma sonucunda 350 yıldan beri Rus gelenek, kültür ve yaşam tarzının devam ettiği, farklı etnik grupların toplumsal birliği sağladığı, yer altı kaynaklarının bölge ekonomisi için yüzyıllardır olduğu gibi günümüzde de önem arz ettiği, coğrafyasının halkın yaşam şeklini belirdiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

    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.

  • ABSTRACT BAYASGALAN, GANTULGA. Late Cenozoic Landscape Evolution in the Khangay Mountains, Mongolia
    ABSTRACT BAYASGALAN, GANTULGA. Late Cenozoic Landscape Evolution in the Khangay Mountains, Mongolia. (Under the direction of Dr. Karl W. Wegmann). Timing, rates, and systems responsible for uplift of intracontinental mountain ranges provide insight into the creation of high-elevation regions on Earth that are distant from active plate tectonic margins. The Khangay Mountains in central Mongolia is an intriguing research site that is suitable for investigating the timing of geologic processes responsible for topographic uplift and the development of continental scale drainage patterns, as well as the climatic-geomorphic responses to such. This dissertation focuses on defining shallow crustal and surficial processes contributing to the development of the Khangay Mountains at both short and long topographic wavelengths, as well as the topographic evolution of the range. The first chapter of this dissertation focuses on cross-strike drainage development via the formation and capture of small tectonic basins (lakes) in front of an active thrust known as the Bayankhongor fault along the southern flank of the Khangay Mountains. The field research site contains ample geomorphological features that I will use to reconstruct the interplay between surface uplift by faulting, temporary formation of lakes in footwall basins and fluvial incision. Although ultimately these landforms (e.g. water gaps) reflect the defeat of rivers during sustained rock uplift, the role of climate oscillations in their formation is an underexplored topic. I used a coupled tectonics–landscape evolution-climate change model to test the hypothesis that a ~130 km2 late Quaternary lake in the Galuut Valley along the southern flank of the Khangay Mountains drained, perhaps catastrophically.
