Исследуются современная динамика параметров климата юго-восточного Алтая и реакция на них элементов нивально-гляциальных систем: снежников, ледников и каменно-ледовых образований. Установлено замедление отступания концов ледников в 1967-1981 и 2008-2013 гг., согласующееся с периодами относительного похолодания и увеличения осадков. Выполнены предварительные балансовые расчёты для 2012/13 гляциологического года и вычислены значения индекса баланса массы для периода 1966-2013 гг. для ледника Селиверстова. Приведены результаты измерений скоростей термокарстовых процессов на моренах малой ледниковой эпохи, ядро которых сложено погребённым ледниковым льдом. Present-day dynamics of climate characteristics in SouthEast Altai and response of glacio-nival systems (snow patches, glaciers, stone-ice formations to the climate changes are studied. Retreats of glacier snouts were found to slow down in 1967-1981 and 2008-2013, and that correlated well with periods of relative cooling and precipitation increasing. Preliminary balance calculations were made for the glaciological year 2012/13, and values of the mass balance index were calculated for the Seliverstov Glacier for 1966-2013. The results of the thermokarst rate measurements on the Little Ice Age moraines whose ice cores consist of buried glacier ice are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
