Post-Last Glacial Maximum Thickness

Description

The thickness maps of the Post-LGM deposits can be used to identify areas where i) pre-Holocene submerged landscapes are exposed at or close to the seabed, or, ii) where there is high potential for preservation of early Holocene landscape features such as submerged river valleys or coasts. Contours are presented as depth (metres) below the present seafloor or the base of the post-LGM sedimentary cover. In glaciated regions, the thickness of the Holocene is used.
