THE HOLOCENE HISTORY OF THE NORTH DVINA RIVER DELTA
https://doi.org/10.7868/S0435428118010017
Abstract
The North Dvina river delta passed through three stages in the Holocene. The estuarine stage (~11–7.7 cal. kyr BP) coincided with the time of penetration of sea waters in the Dvinskoy Bay of the White Sea and ended with the formation of coastal cliffs cut in the morains of the last glaciation. The lagoonal stage (~7.7–5.5 cal. kyr BP) was characterized by a slightly higher than the modern, long-lasting White sea level standing, characterized by slight fluctuations and the accumulation of distinctive organogenic deposits containing remains of brackish-water diatoms. The stage of delta filling the residual estuarine gulf (~5.5 cal. kyr BP – present) coincided with a decrease in the rates of glacioisostatic uplift and the beginning of active sediment accumulation in the entire region of the White Sea.
