- Title
Sea Level Fluctuations as a Key Factor in Delta Formation.
- Authors
Bolshiyanov, D. Yu.; Makarov, A. S.
- Abstract
Based on studies of the geological and geomorphological structure of the mouth areas of the Ob, Pyasina, Khatanga, and Lena rivers, a model for delta development as a result of fluctuations in the level of the Arctic Ocean as a receiving water body is proposed. It is proven that the current appearance of the deltas has been formed as a result of long-term changes in the erosion basis; based on the study of organomineral sediments (specific sediments accumulated during marine transgressions), a method for identifying episodes of high water level of paleowater bodies is proposed.
