Methods and results of geological mapping are described. Glacial, glaciofluvial, glaciolacustrine and aeolian sedimentary environments, rock glaciers, taluses and raised marine beaches are presented. Mutual relations of these sediments as well as their radiocarbon and thermoluminescence datings made chronostratigraphy of Late Quaternary glacial episodes possible. Results of preliminary neotectonic studies are also presented, the same as works on periglacial phenomena, chemical weathering and tundra vegetation. Key significance of the studies for the Quaternary evolution of the Arctic and for better recognition of geodynamic phenomena of Pleistocene glaciations in Poland (Tatra and Sudeten Mts included) is underlined.}, type={Article}, title={Geodynamic aspects of studies of Quaternary inland sediments in South Spitsbergen (attempt to synthesis)}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111198/PDF-MASTER/1990-3-4_365-387.pdf}, keywords={Arctic, Spitsbergen, Quaternary geology}, }
