Late Weichselian geology of southernmost Sweden
Boreas, 1988The area of study is strategically placed 250–500 km inside the border of the Weichselian glaciation. The low relief of the area, the surrounding of a shallow sea and the varying bedrock have all influenced the physical nature of the ice. Different methods, including analyses of reworked microfossils, have been used to produce a new informal ...

The Early and Middle Weichselian in Norway: a review
Boreas, 1981All Known sites with fossils and ‘non‐till sediments’ of possible Early and Middle Weichselian age in Norway are discussed. Along the west coast there are many sites marine shells which have been dated by means of radiocarbon, amino acids and thorium/uranium methods. Some sites are also correlated by means of underlying Eemian sequences.

Weichselian glaciation of the Taymyr Peninsula, Siberia
2004During recent years there has been a re-assessment of the glacial history of the Russian Arctic, from the Kola Peninsula in the west to the Lena Delta and beyond in the east. In this context, work has been carried out on the northwestern and central parts of the Taymyr Peninsula.

Early Weichselian peat at Brumunddal, southeastern Norway
Boreas, 1981Stratigraphical investigations of an inter‐till peat in Brumunddal suggest a major interstadial of Early Weichselian age. The insect fauna and the pollen composition indicate a mean July temperature 2–3d̀C lower than today during the climatic optimum.

Late Weichselian Glaciation of the Russian High Arctic
Quaternary Research, 1999A numerical ice-sheet model was used to reconstruct the Late Weichselian glaciation of the Eurasian High Arctic, between Franz Josef Land and Severnaya Zemlya. An ice sheet was developed over the entire Eurasian High Arctic so that ice flow from the central Barents and Kara seas toward the northern Russian Arctic could be accounted for.

Weichselian glacial stage in Murchisonfjorden, Nordaustlandet, Svalbard
Boreas, 2009Compared to the other islands in the Svalbard archipelago, Nordaustlandet offers only limited stratigraphical or sedimentological information on its Quaternary deposits. This article aims to fill the gap by presenting new results from glacial geological, sedimentological and chronological studies in the southern Murchisonfjorden area.

The Weichselian glaciation in Svalbard before 15,000 B.P.*
Boreas, 1981Th/U dating and radiocarbon dating of ‘old’ shells are discussed, and amino acid ratios from shells are used as a method of relative‐age dating. The Svalbard area has been completely covered by an extensive ice sheet at leats once. New data from Sjuøyane indicate that such glaciation took place in the Early Weichselian.

The British moss flora of the Weichselian glacial
Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 1967Abstract Macroscopic remains of about 115 species of mosses have been recovered from British deposits of the last glaciation. The deposits investigated come from all periods, the most important being Sidgwick Avenue (Cambridge) Early Weichselian, Chelford (Cheshire) 57,000 years B.P., Upton Warren (Worcestershire) 42,000 years B.P., Fladbury ...

Aspects of the Weichselian chronology in central East Greenland
Boreas, 1973From central East Greenland, C14 ages between 19,500 > 40,000 years B.P. have been obtained for six samples of marine bivalve shells. The ages seem to be consistent with geological observations and form the basis for a tentative chronology for the Weichselian ice age in the region.
