With its numerous environmental archives stored in lake and peat sediments relatively low human pressure, the Lake Onega region eastern Fennoscandia is regarded as a particularly promising area for studying past changes vegetation climate since Lateglacial period. The 885-cm-long sediment core RZ19 (62°27′53″N, 34°26′4″E) was collected from Razlomnoe Peat on northern shore of 2019, radiocarbon-dated analysed pollen cryptogam spores. age-depth model suggests continuous sedimentation ca....
A multi‐channel, high‐resolution seismic reflection survey using a Micro‐ GI airgun was carried out in the framework of Russian‐German project PLOT (Paleolimnological Transect) on Lake Levinson‐Lessing, Taymyr Peninsula, 2016. In total, ~70 km profiles revealed unprecedented detail glacial and postglacial sedimentary infill lake basin. Five main units have been recognized interpreted as (Unit V), subglacial proglacial IV ), marine III fluvial‐lacustrine II ) lacustrine I) sediments. Of...
Bolshaya Imandra, the northern sub‐basin of Lake was investigated by a hydro‐acoustic survey followed sediment coring down to acoustic basement. The record analysed combined physical, biogeochemical, sedimentological, granulometrical and micropalaeontological approach reconstruct regional climatic environmental history. Chronological control obtained 14 C dating, 137 Cs, Hg markers as well pollen stratigraphy revealed that succession offers first continuous spanning Lateglacial Holocene for...
Here, we present new results from seismic, geological, and geochemical studies conducted in 2015–2019 the Petrozavodsk Bay of Lake Onego, NW Russia. The aims these investigations were to (i) characterize structure Quaternary deposits (ii) provide evidence modern geodynamic movements gas-seepage Holocene sediments. recovered was composed lacustrine mud, silt sands Holocene, limno-glacial clays (varved clays) Late Glacial–Interglacial Transition, glacial (till) Pleistocene. thickness varied...
The numerous lake and peat sedimentary archives of Central European Russia are ideal for studying the Lateglacial–Holocene climate vegetation history region. However, robustly dated palaeoenvironmental records have only become available in last decade still few far between. Together with continuously growing archaeological record increasing focus on absolute dating cultural assemblages, such records, where available, offer an excellent opportunity to study human-environment interactions For...
ABSTRACT Hydro‐acoustic and seismic data 2‐ to 16‐m‐long sediment cores from the central area of Lake Taymyr (Taymyr Peninsula, Russian Arctic) were investigated reconstruct its sedimentation history. Granulometric, chronological, geochemical biological reveal two lowstands highstands lake level, which is today located ca. 5 m above sea level during summer. Our study confirms presence an ice sheet blocking drainage latest Weichselian. Although chronological control does not allow us...
Across the northern East-European Plain, and especially in Mologa-Sheksna Lowland (MSL), short-term climate variability Late Glacial caused significant palaeohydrological alterations, which drove vegetation successions. The MSL is prominent for dense river lake network, have evolved through multiple water level sedimentation regime oscillations since Last Maximum. Extensive bogs inherit morphology of basins, had been filled with paleolakes several millennia until their ultimate drainage...
Russian-German project PLOT (Paleolimnological Transect) aims at investigating the regional responses of quaternary climate and environment on external forcing feedback mechanisms along a more than 6000 km long longitudinal transect crossing Northern Eurasia. The well-dated record from Lake Elgygytgyn used as reference site for comparison local climatic environmental histories. Seismic surveys sediment coring up to 54 m below lake floor performed in frame Ladoga (North-West Russia; 2013),...
