During the last twelve years the ELSA Project (Eifel Laminated Sediment Archive) at Mainz
University has drilled a total of about 52 cores from 27 maar lakes and filled-in maar basins …

This overview gives a “state of the art” of the scientific knowledge concerning the Eifel maar
lake sediments. The high resolution deposits, partly even with an annual resolution, provide …

This study reconstructs the main flood phases in central Europe from event layers in
sediment cores from Holocene Eifel maar lakes and Pleistocene dry maar structures. These …

Abstract The record of Late Quaternary environmental change within the sediments of
Meerfelder Maar in the Eifel region of Germany is renowned for its high precision …

In recent years enormous success has been achieved in varve counting of the Eifel maar
lakes, but a detailed correlation with the biostratigraphy has been missing. In this paper, we …

A minerogeniclayer occurs in early postglacial organic sediments from five maar lakes (West
Eifel Volcanic Field, Germany). The mineralogy and stratigraphic position of this tephra …

The Eocene age Eckfeld/Eifel maar lake is interesting both because of the excellently
preserved fossil remains and also for the laminated sediment sequence deposited under …

The analysis of tephra layers in maar lake sediments of the Eifel shows 14 well-visible
tephra during the last glacial cycle from the Holocene to the Eemian (0–130,000 yr b2k) …

Worldwide interest is currently focussed on past global changes. The objective here is to
document environmental variations of the past to help understand present day processes …

Lake Meerfelder Maar (Germany) provides a varved record from the Last Glacial/Interglacial
transition back to ca 1500 years BP. This study shows results for the Holocene sequence …
