Main geologic events of the Late Pleistocene (West Siberia)

The Late Pleistocene in the north of West Siberia was characterized by the Zyrjanka and Sartan glaciations and three glacioeustatic transgressions. A solution of disputable problems of the paleogeography of the Sartan glacial sheets and their differences between the Ob' and Yenisei regions is propos ed on the basis of a detailed stratigraphic scheme. The Late Karginian Lokh podgort moraine in the northern Ob' region is correlated with the Angutikha moraine in the lower reaches of the Yenisei River. These correlations subs tantiate new paleogeographic reconstructions of the Late Karginian and Sart an Glaciations and landscape-climatic changes in the north of West Siberia in the late Late Pleistocene.
