Paleoclimatic conditions of a Late Pleistocene mega-lake in Kamchatka

Abstract

Abstract. Here we present the pollen spectra of the Central Kamchatka depression from 28.4 to 7.9 ka. Our study is based on a key lacustrine section Kamplen that deposited in a Late Pleistocene mega-lake and thus represents an integral peninsula-scale record. Pollen analysis allows us to identify seven local pollen zones reflecting the main stages of vegetation and climate change.
