Rajamae, Raivo 1979 12 01: Pleistocene glaciation chronology of Spitsbergen. Boreas, Vol. 8, pp. 401-407. Oslo. ISSN 0300-9483. Geomorphological and geochronological studies of Pleistocene deposits were carried out in sections along Billefiorden and Bellsund as well as on Broggerhalvoya and Prins Karls Forland. For pur~oses of correlation and development of a time scale, radiocarbon ("C) and thermoluminescent (TL) dating methods were used. The dates obtained indicate the presence of older Pleistocene deposits on Spitsbergen and also provide information on the distribution of Middle Pleistocene glacial deposits. A correlation scheme of Pleistocene deposits of Spitsbergen with stratigraphic units of the Alps and northwestern Europe is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
