Late-Glacial and Post-Glacial Shorelines in South-East Scotland

The sequence of Late-glacial and Post-glacial shorelines in south-east Scotland, so far as it is known at present, is described. Nineteen shorelines, each sloping less steeply than its predecessor, are shown on a height-distance diagram and additional ones are referred to in the text. Fluvioglacial...

description The sequence of Late-glacial and Post-glacial shorelines in south-east Scotland, so far as it is known at present, is described. Nineteen shorelines, each sloping less steeply than its predecessor, are shown on a height-distance diagram and additional ones are referred to in the text. Fluvioglacial evidence enables the Late-glacial shorelines to be related to the former positions of glacier margins, including the limits of two important readvances. Beneath the Post-glacial deposits, four buried shorelines have been identified. The ages of the earlier shorelines are not yet known, but some of the later ones are related to radiocarbon dates and palynological evidence.
