Palaeogeography and evolution of the Dubičiai glaciolacustrine basin in southern Lithuania
The Dubičiai glaciolacustrine basin was studied by means of geomorphological, lithological and cartographic methods in order to reconstruct water level changes during postglacial time. The formation of the basin and respective sedimentation processes began immediately after the deglaciation. Glaciol...

The Dubičiai glaciolacustrine basin was studied by means of geomorphological, lithological and cartographic methods in order to reconstruct water level changes during postglacial time.

Glaciolacustrine terraces in the Dubičiai basin formed during the Frankfurt (Grūda) Stage of the last glaciation, and during the Dryas-Allerod, Boreal and Subatlantic chronozones. Intense evolution of the basin took place at the end of the Late Pleistocene and in the Early Holocene.
