A Holocene coastal aeolian system, Vejers, Denmark: landscape evolution and sequence stratigraphy
Stratigraphical studies of Holocene aeolian strata formed at the inner margin of the Vejers dunefield on the west coast of Jutland have contributed to an understanding of aeolian landscape evolution in a storm‐influenced temperate climate belt. The aeolian system was characterized by alternating per...
