Abstract

Morpholithogenic processes which formed relief of Ust'-Kanskaya and Yaboganskaya basins during late Neopleistocene are described. The existence of paleolake formed by the ice dam in the early Wurm near Ust'-Kan village was proved. Glacial dislocations accompany the moraine deposits. There are geologic evidence of mudflows and massive floods on the slope down the lake. During the middle and late Wurm eolian processes and paedogenesis were active. Tectonic movements took place in the second half of the Neopleistocene.
