Moscow State University, Cambridge University, and the GSL Network of
Canada announce a limited remaining number of the Geocryological Map of
Russia and Neighbouring Republics, in its second English language
edition.
Data on permafrost has been collected over many decades in the former
Soviet Union and in the successor republics. This publication makes a
vast amount of detailed permafrost data available to non-Russian
speakers.
The 16-sheet, detailed map is significant to natural resource
industries, to those concerned with political, economic, social, and
environmental issues of the region, and to those contemplating
geotechnical projects in the region, as well as to map libraries,
governmental agencies, consultants, scientists, and academics. The map
provides an impressive depth of information on permafrost and permafrost
conditions for this region.
The Second Edition enhances a number of technical points of translation
and includes color legends. The map is accompanied by translations and
detailed explanations of the terminology used.
