Periglacial structures within fluvio‐aeolian successions of the end of the Last Glaciation – examples from SE Poland and NW Ukraine
The nature of permafrost and related environmental conditions in the W eichselian L ate P leniglacial and L ateglacial are reconstructed based on the assessment of frost structures that are best documented in the L oess B elt and in plateau areas composed of glacial till.
