Changing nature of Pleistocene interglacials - is it recorded by paleosoils in Hungary (Central Europe)? [PDF]
Hungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2015 Based on stable isotope analyses of worldwide reference curves, it has long been apparent that duration, intensity and climatic conditions of Pleistocene interglacial periods were significantly diverse.
