Structure and chronology of floodplain deposits within Belaya River basin (Upper Angara Region)
https://doi.org/10.31857/S0435428122040046
Abstract
Floodplain deposits are important paleo-hydrological archive used to reconstruct fluvial processes and their fluctuation during the Holocene. The floodplain sedimentological record extends the historical observations of extreme hydrological events and allows to estimate their frequency. Study results of high floodplains deposits within Belaya River basin are presented. Morphodynamic zonation of the basin revealed the relationship between characteristics of floodplain-channel complex with areal morpho-structures. Sedimentary texture, mineral composition, grain size, and radiocarbon age of sediments were used to define floodplain facies. In the lower part of the basin floodplain is mostly built from the local sediment sources. In the upper basin near the mountains floodplain deposits are lacking facies adjacent to the channel. The age of sandy facies in the upper basin is younger (800–900 years) than in the lower basin (2.5–3.4 ka years) and indicates the more dynamic channel processes near the mountains. At the same time, older age of soils developed on the floodplains in the lower bain indicate their stable development through time. Change in sedimentology at 8.8 ka cal. years and 3.4 ka cal. years chronologically correlates with climate change episodes indicating the important role of climate on floodplain formation.
