This paper emphasises an ionic composition of the pore water of bottom sediments and subsea permafrost as an indicator of salinization of the thawed strata. Based on measurements of concentration of sodium (Na + ), potassium (K + ), calcium (Ca 2+ ), and magnesium (Mg 2+ ) cations, chlorides (Cl – )...
