Description
Summary:Complex structure of the section across the cape Marre-Sale as well as different approaches to its study are the main reasons for continuation of discussion about the age and genesis of deposits and ground ice. New radiocarbon data complement the previously published information about the age characteristics of upper part of the section. It has been found that the upper strata ices having complex shape occur in layers of different age, while they were formed in the Holocene second half. Сложное строение разреза мыса Марре-Сале и разные подходы к его изучению – основные причины продолжения дискуссии о возрасте и генезисе отложений и подземных льдов. Новые радиоуглеродные данные дополняют опубликованные ранее сведения о возрастных характеристиках верхней части разреза. Установлено, что пластовые льды сложной формы в верхней части разреза залегают в разновозрастных толщах, а формировались они во второй половине голоцена.
