Late Weichselian and Holocene climatic and local controls on aeolian deposition inferred from decomposing grain size-shape distributions

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 distributions were combined with palynological records to reconstruct sedimentary environments and transport mechanisms, and to distinguish climatically-caused from...

Rapid flood intensification and environmental response of the Lower Meuse during the Allerød-Younger Dryas climate transition

Lateglacial climatic oscillations exerted profound impacts on the Meuse fluvial system. In the Lower Meuse (southern Netherlands), geomorphological studies in the last decades mainly centred on Lateglacial vegetation evolution, channel pattern changes and river terrace formation. Little information has been reported about the paleohydrology and...
