GLACIATIONS AND MARINE TRANSGRESSIONS IN THE NORTHWEST RUSSIA DURING THE LAST 140 THOUSAND YEARS

Abstract
The geological and geophysical materials on distribution of the glaciations and sea transgressions that occurred in the last 140 thousand years have been analyzed considering glacio-eustatic transgressions and position of the Ocean level. While the glaciation degraded and the rise of the continent was less than the rise of the sea level, transgressions took place. The most probable areas of glaciation distribution during marine isotope stages (MIS) and sub-stages 6, 5b, d, 4, 2 have been reconstructed. It is shown that the sea transgressions related to glaciations took place in MIS 5e, d, 2 and 1.
