  • Deglasiasjonsforl0pet I Aurlandsdalen Og Omradene Omkring, Vest-Norge
    Deglasiasjonsforl0pet i Aurlandsdalen og omradene omkring, Vest-Norge BJ0RN BERGSTR0M Bergstr0m, B. 1975. The course of deglaciation in Aurlandsdalen and sur­ rounding areas, West Norway. Norges geol. Unders. 317, 33-69. Ice movements and the course of deglaciation in the Aurland area are recon­ structed. The oldest ice movement was from the SE-ESE and converged towards Aurlandsfjorden, while the younger movements were influenced by the local topography and converged towards the larger valleys. Establishment of the deglaciation chronology has been based mainly on morphological studies of glacial deposits, equilibrium line displacements, pollen analysis and radio­ carbon dating. Four events with glacial advances or stagnations have been identi­ fied. The Aurlandsfjord event is assumed to represent a short stagnation of the glaciers at the end of Younger Dryas (after the Ra advance), the Vangen event is older than 9790 ± 160 B.P. and probably younger than 10 000 B.P., the Loven event is dated to the period immediately before 9790 ± 160 B.P., and the Steine event dates from the transition Preboreal/Boreal (9500 B.P.) or the earliest part of the Boreal period. The entire area was deglaciated around 8500 years ago.
