Abstract

Benthic foraminifera (BF) were studied in 260 sediment samples of the core SO201-2-12KL from the eastern continental slope of Kamchatka which covers the last 20000 years of the Late Quaternary time. Based on the distribution of the dominant and subdominant BF species, ecostratigraphic units (zones and superzones) correspond to the different intervals within the final part of the last glacial, last deglaciation, and early to middle Holocene. Records on the modern ecology and biogeography of the abundant and most typical BF species were used for the paleoecological interpretations of the near-bottom conditions.
