Description :
Shorts accounts of Danish cover sand types, loess and drift sand are given. From palynological and geomorphological data it is attempted to establish a general outline of the environments during deposition. Cover sand and loess seem to have developed in climatically and geomorphologically unstable environments, whereas drift sand may have developed following human activity. It is tentatively concluded that deposition of aeolian sediments took place periodically during the Pleniglacial and Late Glacial into the earliest Holocene, and was reactivated during the late part of the Holocene.
