TYPES OF RIVER MOUTH SITES OF THE SOUTHERN ISLAND (THE NOVAYA ZEMLYA ARCHIPELAGO)
Abstract
The article deals with the river mouth sites of the Southern Island of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago and their classification according to the hydrological and morphological characteristics. The classification is based on the visual interpretation of satellite images and topographic maps. Five basic types of river mouths and their occurrence within the island are characterized. Deltaic forms typical for different types of river mouths are described. Using the rich body of literature the authors evaluated the impact of different environmental conditions on the formation of solid discharge and sedimentation conditions in river mouth areas.
