Quaternary palaeogeogrpahy, namely, Quaternary environments, Quaternary stratigraphy, Quaternary palynology, Quaternary pedology, Quaternary landscapes, Palaeoecology, Geoarchaeology
Research Fields:
Researchers
Previous and Current Research
As Quaternary palaeogeogrpahy is based on Quaternary stratigraphy, the studies on these two subjects are directly connected. The first research was aimed on reconstruction of Quaternary landscapes on the regional scale, namely in the Kyiv area. On the basis of field research of stratigraphy of Quaternary sections, morphological and analytical studies of palaeosols, pollen study of Quaternary deposits and analyses of lithological-facial features, thicknesses and hypsometrical positions of Quaternary stratigraphic units, the maps of relief and soil cover have been first built for each of these unit. Later on, the analyses of palaeosols and palynospectra from deposits of different relief elements enable the reconstruction of zonal and regional plaeolandscapes in the area studied. The further studies of Quaternary stratigraphy and reconstruction of palaeosols, palaeovegetation and palaeoclimate, existing during the Quaternary stages, have been fulfilled for different areas of Ukraine: the Donetsk area, the Middle Dnieper area (Central Ukraine), the plain and mountainous Crimea, the Carpathian foreland, Transcarpathia and the Black Sea Plain. The short-period stages of zonal features of palaeolandscape development have been established, and the maps of zonal palaeolandscapes have been built for the area of Ukraine. A part of results have been based on the studies of archaeological sites from the Middle Palaeolithic to the Medieval times. These geoarchaeological studies formed the base of palaeoecological investigation
The current research includes:
- the further study of archaerological sites in order to reconstruct environments of Prehistorical and Historical Man in the area of Ukraine;
- elaboration of the map of geoarchaeological sites of Ukraine;
- collaboration with researchers of dating methodologies in order to elucidate duration of the development phases of environmental development;
Future Projects and Goals
In the near future we intend to continue the aforementioned lines of research as well as start new projects including:
- correlation of the Ukrainian stratigraphical framework with the central and western European and global frameworks;
- participation in the international projects on the compiling of database of key Quaternary sites of Europe and the new Quaternary map of Europe.
- the study of the Upper Pleistocene climatic fluctuations on the millennia scale.
