This paper provides an overview of the geography and palaeogeography of the Chuja
(Chuya)–Katun river system in the Altai Mountains of south Siberia. In addition, an …

Groundwater dynamics in continental rift zone settings remain poorly understood because of
the spatial heterogeneity in flow, storage, and recharge dynamics. The Central Kenya Rift is …

Late Pleistocene glaciers around Darhad Basin advanced to near their maximum positions
at least three times, twice during the Zyrianka glaciation (at∼ 17–19 ka and∼ 35–53 ka) …

This study presents results from geomorphological mapping and cosmogenic radionuclide
dating (10Be) of moraine sequences at Otgon Tenger (3905 m), the highest peak in the …

Maximal 3D ice extent during MIS 2 around Lake Baikal has been reconstructed using
glacial landforms in the field, aerial photos, satellite images, and GIS analysis. This regional …

We present a detailed morphotectonic analysis of late Quaternary faulting in the North Baikal
Rift (NBR), a region characterized by ranges and basins distributed over more than 800 km …

The Darhad Basin in Northern Mongolia was occupied by a paleo-lake since the maximum
of the Late Pleistocene glaciation. The lake formed as a result of ice damming of the …

Palynomorphs from a palaeomagnetically dated Late Pliocene sediment core (3.6–2.35 Ma)
reflect highly variable climatic conditions and repeated expansion of steppe and boreo …

Soils with deep and dark brown to black humic surface horizons, derived from sandy-silty
aeolian and alluvial sediments, are relatively fertile and store huge amounts of carbon …

Stable isotope analyses of soils significantly contribute to a better understanding of
biogeochemical and paleoenvironmental processes. This paper presents and discusses …
