First results of the paleolimnological research in Tundra polygons (the project POLYGON)
A joint German-Russian project (Polygons in tundra wetlands: state and dynamics under climate variability in Polar Regions) started in 2010. The first part of field research during the 2011 field campaign in the lower Indigirka River (70°N, 147°E) and the lower (68°N; 161°E). After one month of fiel...

A joint German-Russian project (Polygons in tundra wetlands: state and dynamics under climate variability in Polar Regions) started in 2010. The first part of field research during the 2011 field campaign in the lower Indigirka River (70°N, 147°E) and the lower (68°N; 161°E). After one month of field work the author has completed sediment samples from typical polygonal ponds on different evolution levels. Eight polygonal ponds and three thermokarst lakes were drilled.
