NEW DATA ON ENVIRONMENTS OF CISBAIKALIA IN THE LATE HOLOCENE

Abstract

New data on changes in late Holocene environments of Cisbaikalia have been obtained based on integrated studies of the mode of occurrence, genetic types, stratigraphy, and data on absolute geochronology and morphology, as well as palynological, chemical, and grain size compositions of paragenetically related loose sediments of key sections in the central part of the western coast of Lake Baikal. The sections are located in piedmont–saddle (the Bezymyannyi section) and flood-plain–valley (the Kuchelga section) geomorphological conditions.
