TRANSGRESSIONS ON THE MURMAN AND WHITE SEA COASTS IN THE LATE PLEISTOCENE–HOLOCENE IN CONNECTION WITH DEGLACIATION
https://doi.org/10.15356/0435-4281-2012-4-53-63
Abstract
Continental ice had blocked the sea advance onto land till the end of the Allerod. Transgression began to the Murmansk coast in the Bolling after deglaciation of south-east part of the Barents Sea shelf. The farthest spread of the sea onto Murmansk coast and in the White Sea Basin took place in the end of the Allerod after deglaciation of the coasts and the White Sea depression. Then, regression took place on the most part of the coasts. The following transgression flooded the previously glaciated area and its vicinity in the Younger Dryas. The subsequent regression began at the end of the Younger Dryas. The third transgression (Tapes) took place in the Holocene.
