Paleolimnological field studies in the areas of the Onega Peninsula, the White Sea, were carried out in the frame of the complex expedition in July 2014. Field studies included reconnaissance, study of terrain and altitude position of lakes, its selection and visual inspection, specification marks the water’s edge and threshold runoff, bathymetric survey, sampling of modern sediments, sediment coring selected lakes with a raft of peat corer (for subsequent pollen, diatom, chironomid, grain size analysis, determining the weight of loss on ignition and radiocarbon dating), lithological description of the sediment cores. The preliminary reconstruction of the White Sea shore position has been done on the base of preliminary stratigraphical studies of lake sediment cores.
