Growing conditions of the Ust’-Emuneret flora and the Santonian-Campanian climate of Chukotka

Abstract

New data on climatic conditions of the Ust' Emuneret flora growth in the Enmyvaam River basin, Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanic belt, are reported. A great diversity of woody dicot leaves in the studied flora permits for the first time for this region the reconstruction of quantitative paleoclimatic parameters using the CLAMP analysis. On the basis of the available results, the Santonian-Campanian climate of the northern Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanic belt and the adjacent Anadyr-Koryak region is analyzed.
