This contribution explores some of the advances in the principles of fossil pollen analysis and examines the application of palynology to outstanding questions concerning population and community ecology, and paleoclimatology reported mainly since
Lithology, stratigraphy, and palynology of Holocene deposits in the Drentsche Aa valley system
From the palynological data it is concluded that the Singraven Formation in the Aa valley is confined to the Holocene. Two fluvial erosion phases causing headward erosion are distinguished: a Late Dryas phase, anticipating the deposition
Holocene palynology : II human influence and vegetation change

An attempt is made to present some of the major research published between 1985 and mid-1991. The material selected represents a broad range of palynological applications and geographical areas. Methodological aspects include fine resolution
Characterising the Namaqualand Mudbelt of Southern Africa : chronology, palynology and palaeoenvironments

The preliminary findings of recent palynological and chronological analysis of the Orange River mudbelt material. This reveals aspects of environmental, vegetation and climatic change in the South African interior and may provide a better
Palynological evidence for Late- and Postglacial environmental change in central Colorado

A sediment core recovered from Lost Park provides palynological evidence for postglacial vegetational and environmental change in the central Front Range of Colorado. The A. identifies an interval within the Lost Park core where the pollen spectra

28 samples of peat, clay and silty clay from a tin mine exposure near Pantai Remis, Perak, Malaysia, were palynologically analyzed. 6 pollen zones and 8 subzones were delineated based on the dominant floral components. Accelerator mass spectrometry
at the Pantai Remis area. Discussion of the palynological results and sea levels.
Paleogeography, stratigraphy and genesis of the loess-paleosol formation of Northern Eurasia (palynological data) in Distribution and chronological problems of loess.
The palynological data collected by the A. in the course of a detailed study of the loess-paleosol sections in the Russian Plain and Central Asia and the yedoma loess like sediments of Northern Asia as well as data published by others concerning
A palynological study of a Holocene deposit from Grand-Bongard (Hautes-Fagnes, Belgium)
A peat deposit from a valley in the Hautes-Fagnes was studied palynologically. The radiocarbon-dated pollen profile spans most of the Holocene and constitutes one of the most detailed records of post-glacial vegetational changes in E. Belgium
