Holocene raised-beach ridges and sea-ice-pushed boulders on the Kola Peninsula, northwest Russia: indicators of climatic change
The primary aim of this paper is to describe and discuss the palaeoclimatic significance of mid-to late-Holocene fields of raised-beach ridges at Matalaniemi and sea-ice-pushed boulders at Kutovaya Bay on the Kola Peninsula. These beach features are interpreted as indicating at least 12 periods of s...
