Late Neogene continental stages in NW Europe revisited

Pollen records from fluvial deposits in The Netherlands have traditionally been used to establish continental stages for the Neogene in NW Europe. These stages are still widely used across Europe for stratigraphic correlations and palaeoclimatic studies. Despite their extensive use, the validity of this continental correlation scheme for the...
