Characteristics of till formation during the Baltija (Pomeranian) Stage of the Nemunas (Weichselian) Glaciation in Lithuania

The formation of the multilayered structure of the Baltija till is ascribed to cyclic dynamics of the subglacial processes associated with the receding ice sheet; consequently, the number of subglacial till layers may be related to the marginal moraine ridges of different phases left by oscillation...

Description
Summary:The formation of the multilayered structure of the Baltija till is ascribed to cyclic dynamics of the subglacial processes associated with the receding ice sheet; consequently, the number of subglacial till layers may be related to the marginal moraine ridges of different phases left by oscillation of the ice sheet margin during glacial recession.
