THE CONCEPT OF MAPPING THE CRYOGENIC DYNAMICS TENDENCY OF THE COASTAL ZONE (BY THE EXAMPLE OF EAST SIBERIAN ARCTIC SECTOR)
<p>We have proposed a conceptual model of dynamics of frozen and cooled below 0°С rocks of the coastal zone. The map shows the areas of degradation, formation, and a stable state of permafrost. The basis of mapping is the type assignment of the coastal zone based on the transformation factors....

<p>We have proposed a conceptual model of dynamics of frozen and cooled below 0°С rocks of the coastal zone. The map shows the areas of degradation, formation, and a stable state of permafrost.

This geological structure is characterized by ground ice occurrence, ice-bearing rocks, modern vertical movements, hydrodynamic processes, and solid runoff. Depending on the combination of these factors, in some cases sedimentation, accompanied by syngenetic freezing of rocks occurs in the coastal zone.
