Lithology and stratigraphy of some Rhine glacier drumlins (South German Alpine Foreland)
This paper reports on studies of five drumlins of the Bodanrück drumlin field, one of the main drumlin fields of the Rhine foreland glacier, situated in the west Lake Constance area of the South German Alpine Forelands. Drumlins consisting of gravel
Middle-Late Pleistocene uplift of Puglia: an anomaly in the Apenninic foreland
The Apenninic foreland shows two distinct structural signatures comparing the central Adriatic Sea and the Puglia region, located northward and southward respectively along strike in the foreland. - (MR)
An outline of the geological structure of the Northeastern Hohes Venn Area and of its Northern foreland
Lower Paleozoic (Cambrian, Ordovician), Devonian, and Carboniferous sedimentary rocks are exposed in the northeastern part of the Hohes Venn area (Northern Eifel) and in its northern forelands. The regional geological development represented
Lejtoszog és lejtokitettségi viszonyok a Pannonhalmi-dombsag és a Bakony északi eloterében. (Slope angles and exposures in the Pannonhalma Hills and the Northern foreland of the Bakony Mountains)
Four regions differing in slope conditions (the plain and alluvial fan zone, the Pannonhalma Hills, the northern foreland of the Bakony and the mountainous part of the Bakony) are differentiated and described geomorphologically. (DLO).
Environment of the East Carpathian Foreland during periods of Palaeolithic man's activity
In the second half of the 20th century, many Palaeolithic sites were discovered and investigated in the East Carpathian Foreland. The aim of this work is to present natural background and conditions of intensive penetration of the Dniester River
valley within the East Carpathian Foreland by Palaeolithic man since at least the last interglacial. Palaeogeographical and stratigraphical studies of loesses were the basis of reconstructions of the past landscapes.
The Quaternary glaciations of Switzerland, with special reference to the northern Alpine foreland in Quaternary glaciations in the Northern Hemisphere.
Characteristics and development of soils at Magilligan Foreland, Northern Ireland, with emphasis on dune and beach sand soils
Evidence obtained from 34 soil pits has established the characteristics and development of soils at Magilligan Foreland. Soil development sequences for the calcareous dune and beach sand areas are outlined, although age estimates for each stage
Karstic landscape evolution of southern Apulia foreland during the Pleistocene
The Salento area is a narrow peninsula composed of Cretaceous and Neogenic carbonatic rocks constituting the southernmost part of the emerged Apulian foreland. A karstic landscape shaped on Upper Cretaceous - Lower Pleistocene rocks and covered
Microvariability in the early stages of cobble weathering by microenvironment on a glacier foreland, Storbreen, Jotunheimen, Norway
at the glacier snout, on recessional moraines crests dated at A.D. 1928, 1870,1810 and 1750 and finally on the 10 000-year-old land surface beyond the 1750 Little Ice Age terminal moraine that demarcates the glacier foreland. Discussion of the results.
Palaeoclimate signals as inferred from stable-isotope composition of ground ice in the Verkhoyansk Foreland, Central Yakutia
In this study, the AA. present stable-isotope data from ice-wedges of Weichselian and Holocene ages from the foreland of the Verkhoyansk Mountains, as well as from Central Yakutia, and discuss their palaeoclimatic implications.
This paper aims at an analysis of the changes in selected parameters of pebbles resulting from the flood transport. Transport of alluvium occurs in both the montains - the source area of the rock material in the channel - and in the foreland, where
no new rock material is added. Proportions between gravels, sands and finer materials change rapidly in the foreland in favour of the finer material.
Photographs of the vegetated North and East Forelands of Anak Krakatau, which emerged from the sea in 1930 and was totally devastated by volcanic activity in 1952/53, provide some evidence of rate of change of plant cover from grassland to woodland
between 1971 and 1991. The series of photographs demonstrate that vegetational stages of the two forelands have not been synchronous and suggest that the North Foreland is lagging the East Foreland by about 12 years.
Human-induced overbank sedimentation in the foreland of the Eastern Sudety Mountains
Analysis of a 2-3 m thick vertical sequence of fine-grained overbank alluvial sediments on the foreland of the Eastern Sudety Mountains reveals that these sediments resulted from human land use changes. Since at least Early Medieval times
, and possibly even earlier, the Glubczyce Plateau has been a deforested region. Despite the mountainous character of the headwater area of rivers in the Eastern Sudety foreland, sediment transfer from sub-mountainous loess-covered uplands, induced by human
The quaternary foreland-sedimentation at the edge of the Styrian SE-Alps (upper Raab/Rába-catchment area near Hungary) is analysed. This environment is based on the particular high-metamorph bedrocks in the upper-drainage areas and the asymmetric
