Abstract
Results of geochemical study of suspended matter (SM) from the snow cover of the Akademichesky Ridge of Lake Baikal are presented. Geochemical data are processed by methods of the mathematical theory of pattern recognition on the basis of distance functions. The conclusion is drawn that the eolian material of the Akademichesky Ridge was transported mainly from the western shore of Lake Baikal. Solution of the optimization problem has shown that 45% of the studied SM was transported from the western shore, 15% from the eastern one, and 40% from far regions.
