Snow Cover Dynamics andRedistribution
Blizzards are te primary mechanism for redisting snow across the Siberian Tundra.

Geomorphological Processes: Erosion and Landform Evolution
Blizzards are effective agents of mechanical weathering and erosion, secularly them processes of nivation (snow- related erosion) and deflation (wind removal of loose sediment). Over millennia, these processes have carved distintiva landforms across the Siberian Tundra.
