Glacial dynamics and transport of debris during the final phases of the Weichselian Glaciation, southwest Skåne, Sweden
Abstract Late Weichselian glacial sediments were studied in three sections west of Lund, southwest Sweden. The lowermost sedimentary unit is a lodgement till containing rock fragments derived from the northeast‐east. Fabric analyses indicate successive ice flow directions: from the northeast, east‐n...
