DVINA BAY OF THE WHITE SEA IN THE LATE GLACIAL AND EARLY HOLOCENE
https://doi.org/10.7868/S0435428118020062
Abstract
New data on the structure and geomorphological features of the geological pattern of the Zimniy Coast (Dvina Bay, White Sea) from Keretsky cape to Kuya river was obtained using methods of geomorphological profiling, lithostratigraphic descriptions, radiocarbon dating and diatom analysis, and the history of the relief development of the bottom and coast of the Dvinsky Bay in the Late Glacial and Early Holocene was reconstructed. An approximate estimation of the relative sea level change and the relative vertical movements of the coast is given. It has been established that on the northeastern shore of the Dvina Bay, terraces of 5–20 m height were formed earlier than 9030 ± 80–8410 ± 40 14C (~10.2–9.4 ka cal) years BP, during the Lateglacial transgression, the amplitude of which, according to the approximate estimation, did not exceed 15– 16 m relative to the modern sea level. The north-eastern coast of the Bay (the Zimniy Coast) underwent relative elevation at a rate of about 0.2–0.5 mm/year, less than the Letniy Coast, which cannot be explained only by glacioisostasy. The Severnaya Dvina river delta was relatively stable. At the end of the Preboreal – the beginning of the Boreal, a sea regression occurred on the shores of the Bay, followed by the sharp increase of the Barents Sea waters inflow into the Bay.
