Cryogenic Facies
In accordance with the most common definition of “facies” the author considers them to represent an unity of sedimentation environment and specific features of bottom sediments related to it (including petrographic, mineralogic, structural-textural peculi

Preface
Most part of investigations on sedimentation process deals with the processes of sediment preparation, transportation and accumulation, as well as postsedimentation transformations within a narrow range of environmental conditions, mainly under the temperatures ranging from 0 °C to +30–50 °C. Our investigation is devoted to the analysis of sedimentation process under the temperatures close to the freezing point and below it, i.e. within the range of 0 °C to –88 °C. These are the lowermost temperatures on the Earth. This book is a result, of nearly a half-century long, of the author’s investigations in the Arctic, Subarctic, Antarctic and periglacial zones of the oceans. It is for the first time that the processes of glacial-marine sedimentation have been studied on a global scale using unified methods and approaches. The author’s investigations were amplified by numerous regional studies carried out by other scientists and the data obtained were correlated with the results of the author’s own observations. So, this is probably for the first time that we managed to establish the great extent and tremendous
