Solovetsky Archipelago in the Late Pleistocene-Holocene: Correlation of Marine and Land Research Data
For the first time the data on Quaternary geology of land and sea were correlated by the example of the Solovetsky Archipelago and the adjacent shelf. Geomorphological analysis and the use of structural methods for studying moraines allowed reconstructing the pathways of glacier movement and revealing the role of the Bolshoi Solovetsky and Anzer Islands as ice lobe dividing zones formed on protrusions of the pre-Quaternary basement. It is shown that deglaciation in the area of the Solovetsky Archipelago was rapid, and as a result of Late Glacial transgression a proglacial basin was formed here, which rapidly turned into a glacio-marine basin, and already in the Early Holocene became purely marine. Earlier assumptions stating that in the Solovetsky inter-island in the Boreal and Atlantic periods there were unique hydrological conditions when the water temperature was increased by 1°–2° compared to the modern one, which in turn led to the blooming of malacofauna, are confirmed and substantiated.
