A NEW LOOK AT CRYOLITHOGENESIS OF MARINE SEDIMENTS OF THE GAS-BEARING STRUCTURES ON THE YAMAL PENINSULA (A REVIEW OF THE MONOGRAPH BY YU.B. BADU “CRYOGENIC STRATA OF THE GAS-BEARING STRUCTURES OF THE YAMAL PENINSULA”)

Yu.B. Badu’ cryolithological paradigm is discussed, based on the results of the many years’ research of conditions of forming the cryogenic strata of the gas-bearing structures on the Yamal Peninsula. The geological structure, composition and state of the Middle Neopleistocene–Holocene strata testify to their occurrence against the background of the transgressions–regressions processes in the Arctic basin and their development under conditions of sedimentation, cooling and freezing under the impact of the heat flux and gas emission from the gas deposit.
