High-resolution multidisciplinary investigation of key European loess-palaeosols profiles
have demonstrated that loess sequences result from rapid and cyclic aeolian sedimentation …

Pleistocene loess and loess derivates are distributed along the mountain front of the Central
European Mountain Belt in northern and central Germany. Examples from two regions, the …

The characterization of Last Glacial millennial-timescale warming phases, known as
interstadials or Dansgaard–Oeschger events, requires precise chronologies for the study of …

Terrestrial records of past climatic conditions, such as lake sediments and speleothems,
provide data of great importance for understanding environmental changes. However, unlike …

Abstract In Northern France the loess cover from the Last glacial (Weichselian) is
represented by a semi-continuous mantle up to 8 m in thickness in the best localities such as …

Electron spin resonance (ESR) dating of optically bleached quartz grains was performed on
three sediment samples collected from the Middle Palaeolithic site of Cuesta de la Bajada …

Since their discovery, the abrupt climate changes that punctuated the last glacial period (∼

As revealed by 18 AMS radiocarbon and 24 OSL/IRSL ages the Dunaszekcső loess-
paleosol sequence is an excellent terrestrial record of paleoenvironmental change in the …

This study contributes to the paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the loess–paleosol
sequence of Nussloch, Germany, by using n-alkanes as plant leaf-wax-derived lipid …
