Palaeowinds and depositional conditions from Holocene loess in Sweden and Finland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The nature of deglacial and Holocene wind regimes in Fennoscandia is debated, as is the degree to which wind‐blown loess deposits exist in the region. Loess deposits in Fennoscandia are often relatively thin, discontinuous and less well‐sorted than typical loess, and questions remain over the degree of their post‐depositional reworking and the impact ...

Thorncliffe Formation: A proglacial to subglacial lacustrine basin sequence, Greater Toronto Region, Canada

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Map of Lower sediment (LS) thickness is a surrogate for the distribution of Thorncliffe Formation (TF) and ~75% of TF thickness from the slope of Niagara Escarpment east to Brighton. Inset images show the LS sequence at the Don Valleys brickyards (DVBY) and undeformed TF sand and gravel (~15 m) below Newmarket Till (NT) at sites L and Co.

Chironomid‐based summer temperature reconstruction of the Eemian–Weichselian transition at Lichtenberg, northern Germany

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Understanding the temperature variability of past interglacial cycles is essential to predict future climates. We present a new summer temperature reconstruction, based on the subfossil chironomid record from a small palaeolake adjacent to the Middle Palaeolithic site of Lichtenberg, northern Germany. The record spans from the Saalian late glacial over

Revised classification of glaciofluvial landforms in the Finnish sector of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Effective and sustainable land use, conservation, and the use of geological resources (incl. raw materials, aggregates and groundwater) require a clear classification system of sedimentary units, with well‐defined vocabulary and unified mapping practices.

Drilling the Marathousa palaeo‐lake in Greece (Peloponnese): inferring the environmental context of a Middle Pleistocene archaeological site

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The Megalopolis Basin is located in the central Peloponnese (Greece), a region that is situated along one of the primary Pleistocene biogeographical corridors for intracontinental hominin migration. The basin comprises several hundred metres of Plio‐Pleistocene sediments alternating between clastics and lignites.

Weichselian history of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet centre, Kvarken archipelago, western Finland—flow shifts, thermal regime and deglaciation

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Rapid thaw of the Earth's cryosphere in response to anthropogenic warming highlights the need to identify and understand the contrasting signatures of past ice‐sheet stability and collapse. The Kvarken archipelago, western Finland, at the centre of the former Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (FIS), has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in recognition
