Until now no overview of the Quaternary deposits of northeastern
Europe has been available. This book fills the gap. It presents the
state of research on Quaternary stratigraphy and geology, with
emphasis on glacial deposits, discusses the general scientific
ideas and gives an overview of the methods of investigation, some
of which have rarely been applied elsewhere. It has become apparent
that the region covered has many environmental problems, and a
proper understanding of the Quaternary deposits is a basic
requirement for dealing with them. The same is true for civil
engineering. In the formerly glaciated areas almost all
construction sites for roads and houses will encounter glacial
deposits. This volume provides an authoritative and fascinating
overview for anyone planning to venture into this field. In its 53
regional chapters the book covers Finland, Estonia, Latvia,
Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, the Czech Republic and
eastern Germany. From the text it becomes clear that not all the
stratigraphical schemes are yet fully compatible or comprehensible.
There can be no doubt, however, that the east was subjected to very
extensive ice advances during the earlier Pleistocene. Also, in
contrast to western Europe, there was a significant Early
Weichselian ice advance, although not as extensive as the last,
Late Weichselian event. The book is illustrated by 421 figures and
74 colour plates (mostly photographs). There are 23 tables, a
detailed index and a list of over 1000 references, providing a
unique collection of northeastern European geoscience literature,
much of which has so far escaped the attention of western
scientists. The volume, composed of contributions by 60 scientists,
completes the trilogy on glacial deposits of northern Europe.
Together with its two companion volumes, the Glacial deposits in
North-West Europe and the Glacial Deposits in Great Britain and
Ireland, it represents an invaluable source of information for the
geoscientist, the advanced student or the amateur.
