The Morphodynamics of the Oktyabr’skaya Spit (Sea of Okhotsk Coast of Kamchatka)

Abstract

Oktyabr’skaya Spit is a polygenetic aggradational landform, about 35 km long. It borders the Bol’shaya river estuary (south-western coast of Kamchatka) from the sea of Okhotsk. This talk is based on literature and archival data (18th–20th century) and on fieldwork (2005, 2010–2012 years). Secular, long-term and seasonal dynamics of Oktyabr’skaya Spit is discussed.
