- Abstract
Physical properties of cores taken from sediments in the channel zone of the Volga Stretch in the Rybinsk Reservoir are studied. The physical properties of the sediments are shown to be related to the evolution of geomorphological processes and the amount of organic matter in the sediment. Variations in the physical properties were used to recognize synchronous formation of sediment horizons corresponding to certain formation stages of the reservoir soil complex and anomalous environmental and climatic events. Three stages of channel sedimentation are established based on characteristic behavior of magnetic parameters and organic matter content. The magnetic parameters of sediments are shown to allow data reconstruction on some environmental and hydrological processes.
