Auteur :
TIKKANEN, M.

Description :
Events associated with shifts in the outlet of a complex of large lakes in Central Finland are studied by means of levellings of ancient shorelines, trend surface analysis, pollen anallysis and radiocarbon dating. This paper determines how and when the shifts in outlet occurred and what other changes in the lake and river system have taken place during postglacial times. Attention is also paid to the deglaciation of the lake complex and its isolation from the Baltic basin.
