| Abstract: | A survey of Soviet research focuses on climatic fluctuation and its causes, the geographical aspects of hydrology, and work on Arctic, Antarctic and mountain glaciation. The Physical-Geographic Atlas of the World, published in 1964, is used as an illustration of the result of Soviet research in these fields. Problems of transformation of the water budget and of climate are viewed as research fields of the future. |
