Description / Table of Contents:
The book contains original papers of researcher from different continents and countries of the world. These papers are devoted to the problems of a new science - cryopedology. Cryopedology is a branch of soil science and geocryology which studies soil as an object of cryogenesis action. Items of genesis, geography, physics and chemistry of cryogenic soils are reflected in this collection. All these items are a subject of discussion at the Joint Russian-American Seminar on Cryopedology and Global Change held in November 15- 16, 1992, Pushchino, Russia. This book also contains papers which were not included in the Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Cryopedology held in November 10-14, 1992, Pushchino, Russia.
