The Lake Murtoo area (SW Finland) reveal a widespread and dynamic subglacial drainage system connecting ineffective semi‐distributed (murtoos) to effective tunnellized (esker) water flow via erosionalmurtoo‐related escarpments (MREs). The presented evidence indicates that a key control on the formation of murtoos and MREs is the meltwater input and ...

The Second Salpausselkä at Karkkila, southern Finland [PDF]
This paper describes the results of glacial geological field investigations carried out in 1974 in the 10 km wide zone of the Second Salpausselkä in the area between Karkkila and Loppi in southern Finland. The 2nd Salpausselkä runs in three main parallel

Abstract Sediments deposited by glacial meltwaters (for example, ice‐contact delta deposits) form permeable packages in the subsurface that can act as reservoirs for both water and hydrocarbons. They are also an important source of aggregate for the construction industry.

Murtoos are recently discovered triangular‐shaped subglacial landforms that form under warm‐based ice and in association with significant subglacial meltwater flow. They appear in distinct fields and commonly occur in the area that was covered by the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet during glacial periods.

Deformational structures in the First Salpausselkä end moraine, Joutsenonkangas, south-eastern Finland [PDF]
Deformational structures in glaciofluvial deltaic sand of the First Salpausselkä end moraine have been described and their origin interpreted on the basis of the palaeogeographical setting of the site.

The Ancylus transgression in the area of Espoo - the first Salpausselkä, southern Finland [PDF]
The extent and age of the Ancylus transgression was studied by means of shore marks in the field, biostratigraphy from 39 bog and lake basins, and radiocarbon determinations in the area of the Salpausselka zone, west of Helsinki, southern Finland.

Errors in the radiocarbon dating of deposits in Finland from the time of deglaciation [PDF]
Some radiocarbon dates of sediments from the area of the Salpausselkä moraines, and north of them in the area deglaciated after c. 10200 B.P., are too old and at variance with a number of radiocarbon dates for the regional pollen assemblage zones ...

A mound field in the Second Salpausselkä ice-marginal belt at Kurhila, southern Finland [PDF]
A dozen mounds, from 20 m to 100 m in diameter and 3 m to 5 m high, occur at the junction of two Late Weichselian ice lobes. One of the mounds, built of stratified silts and fine sands, is described in detail.

Sedimentation and lithostratigraphy of the Vuosaari multiple till sequence in Helsinki, southern Finland [PDF]
A multiple till sequence interbedded with sorted sediments has been investigated at Vuosaari, Helsinki, Finland. The investigation was carried out using standard sedimentological procedures combined with microfossil analysis in order to determine the ...
