The morphostratigraphic imprint of the Baltic Ice Lake drainage event in southern Finland [PDF]
Digital elevation models, based on laser scanning imageries (LiDAR-DEM) and aided by ground penetrating radar (GPR) data, were used to study glaciofluvial Gilbert-type ice-contact deltas in the Younger Dryas Salpausselkä end-moraine zone in southern ...

Baltic Ice Lake levels and a LiDAR/DEM-based estimate of the glacio-isostatic uplift gradient of the Salpausselkä zone, SE Finland [PDF]
Glaciofluvial ice-contact deltas were mapped and altitudes of the highest shorelines defined in the eastern arc of the Salpausselkä zone, southern Finland, using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)-based digital elevation models and GIS tools. Mapping of

Land/sea level changes in southern Finland during the formation of the Salpausselkä endmoraines [PDF]
The altitudes of delta plains of the Salpausselkä endmoraines and of eskers, as well as some determinations of the highest beach level, were used in the study of land/sea level changes. An area south of Hämeenlinna in southern Finland was studied in more

The First Salpausselkä at Lohja, southern Finland [PDF]
Four morphogenic types of the First Salpausselkä can be distinguished in the Lohja area: glaciofluvial marginal deltas, incompletely developed deltas, other ridges and hills, and formations with a rock core.

The Younger Dryas age of the Salpausselkä moraines in Finland [PDF]
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.

Morphologisch-stratigraphische Grundzüge des östlichen Salpausselkä-Gebiets [PDF]
The present study is concerned with some aspects of the Quaternary history of the eastern parts of the Salpausselkä region. The most prominent features of the Salpausselkä marginal formation are the glaciofluvial deltas and the hill and kettle topography

Late Weichselian periglacial features in south-eastern Finland and the surroundings of Lake Ladoga in Russia [PDF]
Ice-wedge casts recorded from the Salpausselkä moraines in south-eastern Finland show that there was permafrost in this zone at the time of the Younger Dryas Stadial.

High‐quality subsurface data provide new insights into the formation of Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM), an ~80 km3 sequence of stratified meltwater deposits resting >200 m above adjacent Lake Ontario. The ORM sedimentary succession comprises a three‐part regional architecture: (i) ~north–south channel sand–gravel; (ii) channel‐capping rhythmites; and (iii ...

The Tuupovaara end moraine in North Karelia, Eastern Finland - an ice-marginal formation of the same age as the Salpausselkä ridges [PDF]
Described in this report is a previously for the most part unknown ice-marginal formation in the province of North Karelia extending from the parish of Värtsilä via Tohmajärvi and Tuupovaara to the parish of Ilomantsi.

Lateglacial Shifts in Seasonality Reconcile Conflicting North Atlantic Temperature Signals
Abstract The accelerating flux of glacial meltwater to the oceans due to global warming is a potential trigger for future climate disturbance. Past disruption of Atlantic Ocean circulation, driven by melting of land‐based ice, is linked in models to reduced ocean‐atmosphere heat transfer and abrupt cooling during stadial events. The most recent stadial,
