Geomorphologic and lithologic evidence for an expanded mountain ice sheet on Mount Kenya during the early Quaternary
The analysis and interpretation of pre-Brunhes (>.73 -.79 my) glacial landforms in the Nithi River Basin, on the eastern flank of Mount Kenya, provide evidence for the dynamics of early Quaternary ice. - (L'A.).
Late Quaternary fluvial sedimentation in the Voidomatis Basin, Epirus, Northwest Greece
The aim of this study is to establish the sequence, depositional environments, and ages of Quaternary alluvial, colluvial, and glacial units in the Voidomatis basin.
The Late Quaternary climate and human impact on aeolian processes in Poland

Detailed field studies, radiocarbon measurements, palaeobotanical analyses and archaeological finds in sites spread all over Poland show that the late Quaternary aeolian phenomena can be divided into two main groups. The first one is represented
The present relief and Quaternary deposits of Orawa Basin give possibility to distinguish two different parts of big complex Czarny Dunajec fan. The western part with 6 levels documents 6 phases of uplift. The eastern part of big fan represent
the youngest Late Vistulian and Holocene accumulation environment. Infill of Wróblówka graben is related to the periods of uplift in western part. Maximal amplitude of tectonic movement during Quaternary is 200 m. Thus the evolution consists two stages
The Quaternary tectonic history of the river mouth region is related to the complex geomorphological features. Evidence on the terraces suggests recent continuous uplift. - (AJC)
the Late Quaternary. Hence, it is possible to confirm the Weichselian age of the intact and the reduced low terrace and to record chronostratigraphically the greatly differentiated fluvial dynamics during the Holocene. - (L'A.).
