Timing of the Baltic Ice Lake in the eastern Baltic [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2013 A shoreline database for the Baltic, covering the Late Weichselian and Holocene, was compiled. The database includes about 1600 sites from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Fin- land, NW Russia, Poland, Sweden and was used to create a GIS-based ...

The Younger Dryas age of the Salpausselkä moraines in Finland [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2010 The late-glacial Younger Dryas Stadial, as defined over seventy years ago in Denmark, was compared with the withdrawal of the Scandinavian ice sheet and correlated in Finland in 1951 with the formation of the Salpausselkä moraines.

Reconstructing dynamics of the Baltic Ice Stream Complex during deglaciation of the Last Scandinavian Ice Sheet [PDF]
The CryosphereLandforms left behind by the last Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) offer an opportunity to investigate controls governing ice sheet dynamics. Terrestrial sectors of the ice sheet have received considerable attention from landform and stratigraphic ...

Timing of the first drainage of the Baltic Ice Lake synchronous with the onset of Greenland Stadial 1 [PDF]
Boreas, 2015 Glacial varves can give significant insights into recession and melting rates of decaying ice sheets. Moreover, varve chronologies can provide an independent means of comparison to other annually resolved climatic archives, which ultimately help to assess the timing and response of an ice sheet to changes across rapid climate transitions.

X- and Ku-Band SAR Backscattering Signatures of Snow-Covered Lake Ice and Sea Ice
Remote SensingIn this work, backscattering signatures of snow-covered lake ice and sea ice from X- and Ku-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data are investigated. The SAR data were acquired with the ESA airborne SnowSAR sensor in winter 2012 over Lake Orajärvi in ...

Geomorphology and sedimentology of features formed at the outlet during the final drainage of the Baltic Ice Lake [PDF]
Boreas, 2021 We present a conceptual model for the character of the 11.6 cal. ka BP drainage of the Baltic Ice Lake in the outlet area based on a new geomorphological map as well as new sedimentological information. We combine this new information with a review of the previous work on this well‐studied area.

Co-evolution of the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem in the Holocene Baltic Sea [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2022 The Baltic Sea experienced changes in marine input throughout the Holocene as substantial regional ice retreat led to isostatic adjustment, eustatic sea level change, and periodic isolation from the North Sea.

Combined genetic and telemetry data reveal high rates of gene flow, migration, and long-distance dispersal potential in Arctic ringed seals (Pusa hispida). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Ringed seals (Pusa hispida) are broadly distributed in seasonally ice covered seas, and their survival and reproductive success is intricately linked to sea ice and snow.

Postglacial water level changes of a drowned lake and river system in northeastern Mecklenburg Bay, southern Baltic Sea [PDF]
Eiszeitalter und GegenwartThe postglacial geological evolution of the southwestern Baltic Sea is marked by dynamic water level developments, accompanied by pronounced coastline displacements and associated changes in coastal geomorphological features.
