DATED
–
a dating database and
GIS-based reconstruction for the Eurasian
deglaciation
Abstract in
english and russian (PDF, 390 KB)
Objective
To provide accurate digital maps with
isochrones of the Eurasian
deglaciation
pattern to
modellers and other researchers, and to facilitate future
re-interpretation of the deglaciation pattern.
DATED will be
an evolving project with successive updates, in order to enable future
re-calibration and re-interpretation of the deglaciation history.
DATED will be available on the web to the scientific
community with all original data sources (scanned maps, dating
and calibration info etc) and literature references.
Geographical
extent
DATED will include the Barents-Kara
sea, Scandinavian and British (Devensian) ice sheets.

Input -
DATED 1
Dates (14C, OSL and exposure) relevant for the
deglaciation chronology
(from ~ 40 ka to ~9 ka), with date and error, sample
location coordinates, sample
material, site stratigraphy, lab
reference, author reference, min. or
max. age, and calibration
details.
Input -
DATED 2
Scanned maps, ArcView-shape files, and vector
drawings of mapped ice marginal deposits
and other relevant data (glacial striae, meltwater channels etc), and
of existing compilations of such.
