| Summary: | International audience Bayesian modelling offers a methodology for integrating various types of numerical dating and constructing consistent chronologies of geological sequences. Although it is routinely used for modelling radiocarbon chronology of lake sediments or archaeological deposits, it has been much less widely applied to model chronologies of palaeo-ice sheet retreat based on spatially distributed sites and multiple methods of numerical dating. Here, we present a Bayesian approach to model the timing of the last deglaciation of the southern sector of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) in NW Poland and NE Germany. The study area covers two ice stream corridors crucial for the spatial configuration of the last SIS` southern margin: the Vistula ice stream (VIS) and the Odra ice stream (OIS) (Fig. 1). |
