Ice margins and deglaciation in the Berlin area between Brandenburg and Frankfurt end moraines. A review
The views of different AA. concerning the reconstruction of the ice marginal positions of the maximum advance and the retreating inland-ice are given. Typical features are outwash plains, meltwater channels as well as kame-like meltwater deposits
On the basis of lithofacies and structural analyses of deposits and the spatial pattern of marginal zone features in selected areas, segments characterized by variable properties have been distinguished. Thus the Pomeranian Phase exhibits
the following features of the marginal zone: ablation end moraines, marginal edges of outwash plains, ridges and depressions left by the melting of the cores of ice-cored moraines, collar ridges of melt-out lake basins, and marginal kames and kame-and-kettle
The marginal zone of the Poznań Phase of Late Weichselian glaciation in western Poland has been deposited in steady-state conditions of the ice-sheet margin. Recent investigations suggest that two Late Weichselian tills occur at this marginal zone
, suggesting a re-advance. Petrological data suggest also a change of ice flow direction from north-south during the major advance to northeast-southwest during the readvance. Thus now, almost all marginal zones of the Late Weichselian glaciation in western
of the beetles are reconstructed by comparison with their present habitats. Close to the margin of the ice shield the Coleoptera fauna proved to be more diverse, even including species of the present-day northern taiga area, than in the more humid periglacial
distinguished within the known stadial complexes of marginal glacial formations. It was shown that the structure of stadial ice sheets was rather complex and included lobes and tongues of various sizes and configuration, which were largely independent
of obtaining numeric 3D-reconstructions on the surface form of former ice sheets, given their former margins and the physical character of the substratum. Also results obtained from insolation calculations as well as empirical knowledge on ablation rates from
