Abstract

The presented fluvial pattern of the Eemian Interglacial in central Poland is the most complete and based on a critical review of the published and archival data. In the final image, the most significant was a relation of this fluvial pattern to a water level of the Eemian sea in the lower Vistula region. Fluvial sediments of the Eemian Interglacial are also present in the tributary valleys, i.e. the Wieprz, Pilica and Narew rivers. A fluvial pattern of the Eemian Interglacial in central Poland is roughly reflected by the present one, with its main northern watershed in the southwestern Mazury Lakeland. Similar fluvial patterns have developed during successive interglacials in the Polish Lowland and therefore, central Poland has acted as a river junction.
