Morphogenesis of the Sarma and Selenga shores of lake Baikal

The paper discusses the issues of landforming of the Baikal Lake shores at the modem stage. The authors consider the modem stage of shores landforming as a time after Irkutsk hydropower dam construction until present. The maximum Baikal level rising was observed in 1962-1972 years which was coincided with high water level period of the last hydro climatic cycle. The rise of water level is fixed 289 cm above "0" benchmark or 456,7 meters above sea level (Baltic system). The level fluctuations were led to flooding of significant areas, restructuring of shores and river networks in its mouths. The types of the Baikal lake shores are shown in the paper. The comparison of the mouths is made on the example of the Selenga River delta and Sarma diluvium fan. The geomorphology map, hypsometric schemes and maps of bottom sediments of Proval bay and Khuzhir-Nuga bay is presented
