Abstract
The article presents the results of research on aufeis (icings) in the area where their concentration is maximal for the Selenga River basin. Landsat and Sentinel satellite imagery data were used to map the current location of aufeis in the valleys of permanent watercourses of the transboundary Dzhida River basin. It was found out that up to 3.5 thousand small aufeis with the area from 0.005 to 1 km2 are formed in small watersheds of the territory. The total area of aufeis within the considered territory can reach up to 92.1 km2, the aufeis coverage is 0.45%. It is revealed that in the total amount, small aufeis prevail, the area of which lies within 0.01 to 0.1 km2. In addition, ecosystem and economic aspects of the processes of ice formation on the territory of Russia and neighbouring Mongolia are considered.
