Sensitivity of Weichselian fluvial systems to climate change (Nochten mine, eastern Germany)

This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of fluvial system response to climate change during the last glacial–interglacial cycle. Fluvial and aeolian successions have been studied in the opencast brown-coal mine Nochten in eastern Germany. An absolute chronology was established by luminescence and 14C-dating, enabling to demonstrate the relations between depositional units and changes in sedimentary environment over time with regional...
