| In: | Earth's Cryosphere. (2003.), Special issue (2003) |
| Abstract: | Describes study of thick (5-5.5 m) peat bog in Shchuch'ya River Valley on southern Yamal, north-west Siberia. Reports exposure of large (over 5 m vertical thickness) polygonal ice-wedges in peat and underlying lacustrine sandy loam. Presents results from peat cross-sections and boreholes, including thick (up to 1.5 m) wood horizon in peat base, and describes structure of ice-wedge complex. Cites large vertical size of ice wedges as main evidence of syngenetic origin (contemporaneous with wood and peat horizons at around 6 to 7 ka BP). Refines paleofacial and paleotemperature reconstructions using radiocarbon dating and analyses of pollen and spores, stable isotopes, enzymatic activity and chemical composition. |
