Eolian cover sands in Central-West Poland

Auteur :
NOWACZYK B.,

Description :
Eolian cover sands have been investigated in Poland rather seldom, and in some elaborations they have been misinterpreted. Investigations that have been carried out recently in Central-West Poland allowed to determine stratigraphy of eolian cover sands on the basis of pollen analysis, C and archeological findings. Grain-size analyses of sediments collected in various points of the discussed area reveal differences among particular stands. Reasons for such grain-size variations should be looked for in grain-size of the bottom sediments. It has been also found that eolian cover sands of West and Central Europe are differentiated in respect of grain-size. (L'A.).
