Abstract
The role of natural and anthropogenic factors in the seasonal dynamics of the Fe and Mn ion migration in the Amur River water is examined. The contribution of the biogeochemical processes in the migration of the Fe and Mn ions at the water-river bed and groundwater-surface water contact zone is substantiated. The causes of the anomalously high Mn content in the Amur River water at the beginning of the 2005 freezing after the technogenic accident in China are discussed.
