Abstract:

The Map of tabular ground ice depth was compiled as a result of the analysis of borehole and published data. The Map is based on a landscape featuresindicators method. It is established that tabular ground ice occurs closer to the surface within outliers of marine plains, and deeper at the lowered surfaces subjected to thermokarst.
