Abstract

The article provides a review of GIS-based reconstructions of the development of Lakes Onego and Ladoga in the Late Pleistocene. It is shown that recently GIS methods have been used for reconstructions. At the moment, there are three GIS-based paleoreconstructions of the study area (Gorlach et al., 2017; Zobkov et al., 2019; Anisimov, Minina, 2020). All reconstruction used DEMs and digital bathymetry models of lakes. However, areas, volumes, maximum, and average depths for various stages of lake development are calculated only for Lake Onego (Zobkov et al., 2019; Paleolimnology…, 2022).
