Karst processes and phenomena in the perennially frozen carbonate rocks of the middle Lena River basin
Abstract Various karst processes and karst phenomena at scales from the macro to the micro occur in the cryolithozone of the middle Lena River basin. Karst processes have a warming impact on the enclosing perennially cryotic rocks and favour the formation of intra‐permafrost taliks at depths ranging...

| Summary: | Abstract Various karst processes and karst phenomena at scales from the macro to the micro occur in the cryolithozone of the middle Lena River basin. Karst processes have a warming impact on the enclosing perennially cryotic rocks and favour the formation of intra‐permafrost taliks at depths ranging from a few to several tens of metres.
