Eolian sedimentation in central European Auel dry maar from 60 to 13 ka

Abstract The climate in central Europe during the last 60 ka is characterized by rapid temperature and moisture changes strong cold periods (Heinrich events). All these variations are preserved sediments of marine also some terrestrial archives. Here we present a continuous, sediment record with almost all Greenland stadials Heinrich events between 13 visible from carbonate roundness Eifel Laminated Sediment Archive Dust Stack-20 CaCO 3 data for Europe. show ka. general transport system change beginning event 3. Since there no carbonates west Auel Maar, conclude that eolian-transported grains were not transported westerly but easterly winds. These postulated winds glacial maximum supported similar findings previous works.
