Field Activity 1992-015-FA

Identifier 1992-015-FA
Alternate names VERE92-2
Purpose To obtain and quantitatively interpret the sedimentary record of changing climate and limnology in Lake Baikal by collecting high-resolution seismic reflection data to delineate the sedimentary environments beneath the lake, defining how these environments have responded to climate change, and locating and correlating the best sites for coring.
Location Selenga Delta, Buguldeika, Academician Ridge, Maloye Marye, Lake Baikal, Siberia, Russia, USSR, Asia;
Summary See scanned cruise report.
