On the limit of Quaternary glaciations in the east of the Russian Plain.

Abstract

A study of ancient glaciation in the eastern part of the Russian Plain has been carried out over a long period using geological and geomorphological research methods, which included a detailed petrographic, granulometric, morphometric and textural analysis of detrital material from both bedrock and Pliocene-Quaternary deposits. The research confirmed that the area of Tatariya, Udmurtiya and the southern part of the Kirov region were never covered by ice during the Pliocene and the Pleistocene. - translated by P.Cooke
