... accumulated a significant amount of the Chulym and Kargat runoff and thus influenced the water balance of Lake Chany. Our studies have reconstructed the history of these depressions. A model describing their filling with sediments is proposed. The lacustrine sediments penetrated by boreholes and pits...

...A.N. Zhdanova; E.P. Solotchina; S.K. Krivonogov; P.A. Solotchin Abstract —We present results of research into the mineral composition of the Holocene sediments of Lake Malye Chany of the Chany lake system located in the Baraba steppe and comprising three lakes: Bol’shie Chany, Malye Chany...

...A.N. Zhdanova; E.P. Solotchina; P.A. Solotchin; S.K. Krivonogov; I.V. Danilenko Abstract Sediments of lakes located in closed basins in inland areas are an excellent archive of environmental and climatic changes. One of such archives is the Chany lake system located in the Baraba steppe of southern...

... are closed lakes (Chany, Sartlan, Inder’, etc.). In the interfluves swell-and-swale microrelief occurs within which the water accumulated on the surface is evaporated back into the atmosphere (closed interfluves). Thus, the first prerequisite for division of the environment into districts...

... Chany area. Floods resulted from the breakthrough of thermokarst lakes in the north of the West Siberian plain were typical in Karginian and Holocene time. The breakthroughs of moraine-dammed basins in the Altai Mountains took place mainly in Karginian time, whereas the breakthroughs of rock-dammed...

... of the second half of the Holocene. It contains alternating lacustrine sediments and soil-biogenic interbeds, which is indicative of multiple climatically determined variations in the level of Lake Chany. Radiocarbon dating demonstrated that climate aridizations and lake regressions occurred: (1) in Atlantic...

... ; Volkova et al., 2002 ), the uppermost Pliocene strata (which are now Lower Quaternary) belong to the Kulunda regional stratigraphic horizon lying under the Kochkovo horizon. The stratigraphic range of the Kulunda horizon spans the upper Lower through Upper Pliocene Kustanai, Chany, Zverinogolovka...

... precipitation deficit about 6070 BP led to the disappearance of shrub birch and spread of forest-steppe landscapes with xerophyte grasses and sparse birch and pine trees in the region of Lake Chany. Further wetting favored the appearance of elm-tree and the presence of lime-tree. The broad-leaved species...
