Investigation of spectral properties of different Quaternary paleosols and parent materials

open access: yesHungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2020
Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) is a rapid, relatively new method in Quaternary research to analyse sediments and paleosols. This method takes into account clay mineral content, amount of Fe-bearing minerals and grain size composition of samples,

Modelling the Impact of Climate Change on the Flow Regime and Channel Planform Evolution of the Lower Drava River

open access: yesModern Geográfia, 2023
Climate change is expected to have a significant impact on changing the flow regime of the lower Drava River. Four flume experiments were run to see how stabilized, increased and decreased flow and the occurrence of a series of floods affect channel ...

Proposing a new conceptual model for the reconstruction of ice dynamics in the SW sector of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) based on the reinterpretation of published data and new evidence from optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating [PDF]

open access: yesEiszeitalter und Gegenwart, 2020
We propose a new concept of the Weichselian ice dynamics in the south-western sector of the Baltic Sea depression. The review of existing geochronological data from Germany, Denmark and southernmost Sweden in combination with new optically stimulated ...

A thicker Antarctic ice stream during the mid-Pliocene warm period

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2023
Ice streams regulate most ice mass loss in Antarctica. Determining ice stream response to warmer conditions during the Pliocene could provide insights into their future behaviour, but this is hindered by a poor representation of subglacial topography in ...
