TY - JOUR N2 - This article presents characteristics of the Quaternary deposits and landforms of Ebbadalen, the Nordenskióldbreen foreląnd and the Wordiekammen massif on the basis of geomorphological mapping of this area and a number of geologic profiles A—L studied in detail. Glaciers were much more expanded during the Pleistocene than they are nowadays. Over a period referred to by the present authors as the Petuniabukta-Adolfbukta Stage they occupied the whole Ebbadalen area and the eastern part of Adolfbukta. Marine terraces of 70- 80, 60—65 and 50—55 m a.s.l. were formed earlier. At the turn of the Pleistocene three marine terraces were produced at 40—45, 30—35 and 20—25 m a.s.l. Throughout the Early Holocene transgression (the Ebbadalen Stage = the Thomsondalen Stage) glaciers occurred in nearly the entire Ebbadalen area and occupied a larger part of Adolfbukta than nowadays. During the Middle and Late Holocene marine terraces of 12—15, 5—8, 3—4 and 1—2 m a.s.l. were initiated. Two more glacier advances, the later relating to the Little Ice Age, took place during the Late Holocene L1 - http://journals.pan.pl/Content/111227/PDF/1989_3_277-301.pdf L2 - http://journals.pan.pl/Content/111227 PY - 1989 IS - No 3 EP - 301 KW - Arctic KW - Spitsbergen KW - Quaternary KW - landforms and sediments A1 - Kłysz, Piotr A1 - Lindner, Leszek A1 - Marks, Leszek A1 - Wysokiński, Lech PB - Polish Academy of Sciences PB - Committee on Polar Research VL - vol. 10 DA - 1989 T1 - Late Pleistocene and Holocene relief remodelling in the Ebbadalen-Nordenskiöldbreen region in Olav V Land, central Spitsbergen SP - 277 UR - http://journals.pan.pl/dlibra/publication/edition/111227 T2 - Polish Polar Research ER -
