THE ROLE OF A.P. LISITSYN IN RESEARCH OF EOLIAN AND ICE TRANSFERS’ INPUT INTO SEDIMINTATION PROCESSES

Abstract

The article shows the role of Academician A.P. Lisitzin in the study of sed-imentary matter in the surface layer of the atmosphere, sea ice and icebergs. He began these studies in 1949 and for the first time showed that in the supply of sedimentary matter to the seas and oceans, the contribution of material trans-ported by aeolian way and ice is comparable to the contribution of river runoff outside the marginal filter.
