Some aspects of Late Valdai relief formation in the East part of Barents Sea and adjacent land

Abstract

Paleoclimatic reconstructions and relief analysis were fulfilled, using the large-scale topographic maps and space images for the land and bathymetric and seismic data - two types of mountain and valley glaciers of different thickness and activity were distinguished in the region for the Late Valdai Age. Paleoclimatic and geomorphologic data indicate the absence of continuous thick ice cover on the Pechora lowland during this time.
