ДЕПРЕССИИ СНЕГОВЫХ ГРАНИЦ ПЛЕЙСТОЦЕНОВЫХ ОЛЕДЕНЕНИЙ ВОСТОЧНОГО ЗАБАЙКАЛЬЯ

Abstract

The localization of the climatic and orographic snowlines during the Late Pleistocene glaciations was determined for the southern part of the East Siberia: Vitim-Olekma watershed and Eastern Transbaikalia. The deformation of the snowlines depends on global, regional, and local agents. Depression of the chionosphere reached 1400 m in the Sar-tan Ice Age, 1600 m - in the Muruktin, 1800 m - in the Tas stages, and more than 1900 - in the Samarovo Ice Age.
