Paleoseismic Fault Trenches as Unique Archives of the White Sea Holocene History

We studied sedimentary archives on the Karelian coast of the White Sea (area of the White Sea Biological Station, Moscow State University) from various objects—filling of the paleoseismic fault trench, marine terraces, and buried shell lenses—to obtain new data on the relative sea level dynamics in...

Description
Summary:We studied sedimentary archives on the Karelian coast of the White Sea (area of the White Sea Biological Station, Moscow State University) from various objects—filling of the paleoseismic fault trench, marine terraces, and buried shell lenses—to obtain new data on the relative sea level dynamics in the Holocene in the areas where block tectonic movements took place. The specific features of the formation of subfossil malacofauna taphocenoses in Kandalaksha Gulf, changes in the sedimentation environment under the conditions of uplifting coast, and traces of strong seismicity in the late glacial and postglacial periods are also revealed.
