Description :
This study investigates the Holocene chronology of glacier fluctuations in the headwaters of Sredniaya Avacha, a tributary to Avacha. Holocene glacial deposits are subdivided into 3 age groups based upon geomorphic features, tephrochronology, and lichenometry. Glacial deposits at altitudes between 1000 and 1500 m suggest extensive Holocene glaciation.
