Progress Report Seminar by Laboratory of Permafrost Geothermics
On February 9th and 12th, the MPI's Laboratory of Permafrost Geothermics held seminars to report research achievements in 2017 and to discuss plans for 2018 on Project IX.135.2.2: Subsurface Temperature Field and Permafrost Transformation in Northern Asia and Central Asian Mountains (Project Director: Mikhail Zhelezniak, D.Sc.), one of the five federal government contracts for the years 2017-2019. Team members of Sub-Project 1, which aims to understand the development of subsurface temperature fields and permafrost in major tectonic structures of the Siberian Platform, Valery Semenov, Ivan Misailov and Anatoly Kirillin presented the results of their investigations in the Viluyi Basin, Nepa-Botuoba Uplift, Anabar-Khatanga Saddle, Anabar-Olenek Uplift and Elkon Horst. Denis Sivtsev and Maria Rozhina reported the progress in developing the geocryological database of the Verkhoyansk-Chukotka Region under Sub-Project 2. Stepan Varlamov, Principal Investigator of Sub-Project 3, and his team members told about their field observations and numerical modeling of the thermal response of upper permafrost to climate change and human impacts, with focus on the Central Yakutian permafrost region.
