Late Pleistocene-Holocene relative sea-level change in the White Sea inferred from fossil diatom records in the Solovetsky archipelago
Fossil diatom records from small lakes located at different elevations in the Bolshoy Solovetsky Island (White Sea) have been investigated to reconstruct relative sea-level changes in the White Sea. The relative sea level in the Late Pleistocene-Holocene was not uplifted more than 30 m high as compared with the recent level. Our resulting relative sea-level curve differs from those drawn for other key sites at the White Sea coast due to the different rates of some glacioisostatic uplift and neotectonic movements.
