Deglaciation of the Bara Basin near Malmö, Sweden

Abstract

Results obtained by mapping and special varved clay investigation show that the so‐called Northeastern ice advance (13,500 B.P.) and the Low Baltic readvance (13,000–13,200 B.P.) are separated by a significant deglaciation phase, for which we propose ‘Lockarp Interstadial’ (13,200‐13,500 B.P.) as a time‐stratigraphic term to be used in the type area of southwestern Scania.
