Permafrost young researchers network (PYRNRussia) meeting #29

"Yamal crater: what really is it?"

(28.11.2014, Moscow)

Yamal crater is a topic of scientific debate, held at Sergeev Institute of Environmental Geoscience RAS (IEG RAS) in framework of the Permafrost Young Researchers Network (Russian branch) meeting in Moscow. This was the first large-scale event to exchange ideas about the origin, structure and mechanisms of the crater formation. Permafrost, geophysics and geomechanics researchers (M. Leibman, A. Kizyakov, V. Olenchenko, L. Kritsuk, A. Reznikov, L. Kozhina, G. Kraev G. Postoiev, V. Pushkarev, A. Smirnov, I. Bogoyavlensky) reported on three expeditions (in July, August and November of 2014). Then scientists and experts, who observed what appeared to be a crater and simply indifferent to the mysteries of nature persons shared their ideas. There were a variety of hypotheses: from the explosion pingo to meteorite impact. Supposed a number of models of what happened. Until definitive conclusions still far away, but on November 28th, everyone could learn more about the crater and ask questions. Interest in the subject was so great that the audience of the meeting could not accommodate everyone. See you in next PYRN Russia meeting!

Now PYRN Russia is preparing short report on the meeting with suggestions about origin of Yamal crater. Please, participate in our questionnaire (only Russian now) about this crater to be close to the truth!

Presentations that were presented during the meeting are here. We are planning to put English subtitles soon:
