FIELD-WORK AREAS


Employees of laboratory carried out the field investigations on Kamchatka, Koryak Upland, Novosibirsk Islands, and Crimea. Besides, the materials from South-Anui zone (Western Chukotka) and Far East were work up. The main field areas are Kamchatka and south part of Koryak Upland.
