Loess-Paleosol-Sequences in South Germany-Stratigraphy,Paleoclimate and Connections with River Terraces

Loess-paleosol sequencesin South Germany were used to reconstruct the evolution ofthe paleoclimate and the chronology of river terraces formation. It was demonstrated that theclassical Riβ glacial period issubdividedintoat least 3 glacial/interglacial cycles. In consequence,it is probable that the Holsteinian t Loess-paleosol sequences in South Germany were used toreconstruct the evolution of the paleoclimate and the chronology of river terraces formation.
