and palynology, studies of fluvial erosion, wind erosion, and in cryopedological and glaciological research. A tephrochronology correlation between Iceland, the European continent and Greenland has been established.
Lithological and palynological data from organic levels below some ramparts suggest growth of most of the pingos in a thaw lake environment. Hydrostatic (closed-system) origin of the pingos is suggested. Radiocarbon data indicate that the pingos
Stratigraphic, textural, minerological, geochemical and palynological investigations indicate the existence of: lacustrine clay from the Late Eemian (Hovden thermomer)| dark clayey basal till of the Early Weichselian age (Hovden kryomer)| lacustrine
In the sedimentation cycles coarse and fine deposits grade into each other with no sharp boundaries. Periods of several years and those of several ten thousands of years are also observed. Combined with malacological, palynological, climatological
A complex investigation of the evolutional history of the blown-sand area is undertaken by stratigraphic, pedologic, palynologic methods, radiocarbon dating and recent geomorphological observations. The fossil soils found indicate blown-sand
As appears from geomorphological and palynological data, the Heerenven lake in the nature reserve De Hamert forms a remnant of a branch of the river Meuse, dating from the Weischselian Glacial Period.
A palynological and stratigraphical study has been performed on glacial, interglacial and interstadial deposits outcropping in the Dranse river valley and which have been reached by two drill holes (Sionnex and Royal) near Evian. Ages
The Upper Pleistocene sediments of the Aschenhütte sink-hole (west of Herzberg am Harz, Lower Saxony, West Germany) enable one to make interesting correlations between palynological and geological results. The sequence is composed of limnic-telmatic
Based on two pollen profiles from alluvial sediments, the evolution of vegetation is correlated to the settlement history of the Lower Rhine District. The palynologic data suggest that this area was already cultivated in the neolithic period and has
A lithological and palynological investigation has been made of the Late Glacial and early Holocene filling of a pingo remnant in Drente (The Netherlands). It was found that the deposition of aeiolian sands, although of varying nature
Stratigraphical, palynological and 14C studies undertaken on mineral and organic sediments observed in a coastal site at Le Lornel (Pas-de-Calais) show a complex history from 5000 B.P. until now. The transgressive and regressive phases
