Reconstruction of the Relative Level of the White Sea during the Holocene on the Karelian Coast near Engozero Settlement, Northern Karelia

摘要

This paper continues a series of publications devoted to study of bottom sediments of small lakes formed in local coastal depressions during regression of the White Sea shoreline due to glacioisostatic uplift of the Baltic Shield. These studies allow us to define the timeline of shoreline position changes and, hence, estimate the rate of land uplift for different territories, depending on the paleogeographic, tectonic, and geo-morphological features of a given site.
