Abstract

Radiocarbondated whalebones from raised beaches record a relative sealevel history for Bröggerhalvöya western Spitsbergen that suggest a twostep deglaciation on Svalbard at the end of the late Weichselian glaciation The late Weichselian marine limit was reached at about 13000 yr BP and was followed by relatively slow emergence until about 10000 yr BP either in response to ice unloading in the Barents Sea initial retreat of local fjord glaciers or some combination of the two Rare whale skeletons dating between 13000 and 10000 yr BP indicate that the Norwegian Sea was at least seasonally ice free during that interval Deglaciation of Spitsbergen is recorded by the rapid emergence of Bröggerhalvöya after 10000 yr BP This was followed by a transgression during the midHolocene here named the Talavera Transgression and another in modern times Raised beach morphologies suggest striking differences in nearshore depositional processes before and after 10000 yr BP that are probably related to changes in the rate of uplift and in seaice conditions
