The role of environmental change in the evolution of cultural traits is a topic of long-standing
scientific debate with strongly contrasting views. Major obstacles for assessing …

The complex and non‐linear fluvial river dynamics are characterized by repeated periods of
fluvial erosion and re‐deposition in different parts of the floodplain. Understanding the fluvial …

Abstract The Northern Iranian loess profiles host important information on Quaternary
climate and palaeoenvironmental changes in the region. They build an important link …

Loess-palaeosol sequences are highly resolved archives for palaeoenvironmental
reconstruction and build an important link to correlate European and Central Asian loess …

Hydro-sedimentary processes such as soil erosion, sediment transport, deposition, and re-
deposition influence the environmental evolution of floodplains, especially in loess-covered …

Two loess-paleosol-sequences from the northern Harz foreland, Hecklingen and Zilly, have
been investigated. In general, loess-paleosol-sequences represent valuable terrestrial …

Alluvial fans are important paleoclimatic archives, that may record high-frequency climatic
oscillations. However, climate signals may be overprinted or even be destroyed by …

Abstract The Lower Rhine Embayment hosts important Loess-Palaeosol-Sequences (LPS)
within the western European loess belt yielding valuable information on landscape evolution …

Aeolian deposits form rich archives of climatic and environmental changes, which have not
been fully explored. In this study, results from end-member modelling of grain size-shape …

A well-based knowledge about the former distribution of Chernozems and Phaeozems is
necessary to (i) better understand the factors influencing formation and degradation of these …
