Ringberg, Bertil 1979 06 01: Varve chronology of the glacial sediments in Blekinge and northeastern SkPne, southeastern Sweden. Boreos. Vol. 8, pp. 209-215. In sections and cores from an area of the Baltic Ice Lake in Blekinge complete varve series of fine-grained glacial sediments have been found. It is possible to divide the series, from bottom to top, into four varve types. A core from Karlshamn in Blekinge shows most varves of the investigated localities. in all 355 varves. Antevs' (1915) local chronology has been used, as the most recent revision of the Swedish time scale has not yet been completed. The chronology in this investigation ranges from -325 to + 315, or 640 years. The varve chronology and the velocity of the ice recession, c . 90 m/year in northeastern Sklne, shows good agreement with the work of Antevs, whose unpublished diagrams have been re-worked and used in this investigation.

The area of study is strategically placed 250–500 km inside the border of the Weichselian glaciation. The low relief of the area, the surrounding of a shallow sea and the varying bedrock have all influenced the physical nature of the ice. Different methods, including analyses of reworked microfossils, have been used to produce a new informal lithostratigraphy for the area. The glacial striae have been studied and grouped according to orientation and relative age. Correlation is drawn between the ice‐flow pattern determined by the lithostratigraphy and the pattern determined by the glacial striae. The correlation shows the general ice flow during the different glacial events in he Late Weichselian. It is possible to broadly correlate these events with the events in Denmark. The record of glacial advances between 21,000 and 13,000 B.P. starts and ends with an ice stream following the topographyy of the Baltic. The ice streams show low profile and longitudinal axial, lobatic flow. The flow pattern during the Main Weichselian advance indicates a radially flowing dome over the mainland. There is no geologic evidence of separate ice domes in the southern Baltic during the Late Weichselian.
