Description :
The AA. present new chronologic, sedimentologic, paleomagnetic and environmental magnetic results from the oldest unit (Qah1) of a system of nested cut-and-fill alluvial sequences, which is 18 m thick and crops out extensively in the central part of the natural park at the Bardena Blanca Depression. Their results demonstrate a quick and strong response of alluvial systems to Early Holocene climate variability in fragile Mediterranean landscapes such as those at the semiarid Bardenas Reales Natural Park.
