region, geographically located in the Russian Yamal-Nenets autonomous
region, northern-central Russia. This region is characterized by the
unique nature and environmental conditions, combining two
physical-geographical regions: sub-Arctic and Arctic moss-lichen tundra
and permafrost conditions. The recent changes in global climate and
overall warming highly contribute to the degradation of the tundra
environment and increases cryogenic slope processes. This paper focuses
on the investigation of the ecological aspects of the global climate
change
in Yamal peninsula, and analysis the development of slope processes on
the local tundra environment.
