Abstract
Korshiv key section is one of the best studied and most complete sections of periglacial loess-soil series of Volhyn-Podillia. There is total thickness of loess-soil series approximately is 30 meters in this section. This key section is stratotype of Korshiv fossil soil complex and Lutsk fossil soil. Pseudomorphs after the structures of cellular ice of several stages of Middle Pleistocene palaeocryogenesis were allocated here for the first time for Volhyn-Podillia. Detailed description of the section and the results of engineering-geological studies of rocks of all selected loess and palaeosoil horizons were done. Individual properties of selected stratigraphic horizons and their dependence on the paleogeographic conditions of sedimentation were displayed. Key words: loesses, fossil soils, palaeogeographical conditions, engineering-geological features, subsidence, Volhynian Upland.
