Abstract

Recent Russian investigations into cold climate (i.e. cryogenic) weathering are reviewed. Data obtained from both experimental and field studies upon rock breakdown are summarized and values of cryogenic stability and cryogenic contrast are presented for different mineral assemblages and for rocks of different ages. Unconsolidated ice‐rich sediments are emphasized. Les recherches russes récentes, portant sur la désagrégation des roches par le gel, sont passées en revue. Les résultats obtenus dans ce domaine, à la suite d'études expérimentales et de travaux de terrain, sont résumés. Des valeurs de stabilité cryogénique sont présentées pour des ensembles différents de minéraux et des roches d'ǎge varié.
