Abstract
The sediments in the western Norwegian fjords are described chronologically, qualitatively and quantitatively by means of seismic profiling and correlation with dated terrestrial sediments along the fjords. Five chronostratigraphic units (I–V) are proposed for the fjord sediments using the well established Quaternary stratigraphy in the area. Sediment volumes of the main fjords are calculated using a dense seismic grid combined with map analyses. Approximately 150 km 3 of sediments are present in the fjords between 59–63 °N. Ninety percent of this material is considered to be deposited during deglaciation of the last (Weichselian) ice sheet. Less than ten percent of the fjord sediments in this area is older than the last glacial (Weichselian) maximum. Both glacial and glaciofluvial processes are active in emptying the fjord basins and transporting the sediments to the continental shelf and slope during glaciations.
