Interpretation of climate change and deglaciation events from palaeovarves requires a complete understanding of varve composition, depositional environments and the non-climatic events that may influence varve thickness record. We examined a Baltic Ice Lake varve-thickness chronology from western Estonia, eastern Baltic Sea, composed of 26 individual varve series and spanning 584 years of Late Weichselian deglaciation. The direction (azimuth) to the increasing seasonal layer thickness and correlation between the w...
