Base Quaternary in the Danish parts of
Over the years, several maps of the base Quaternary surface of the Danish area have been published. However, the maps have either been local in character (e.g. Håkansson & Pedersen 1992; Huuse et al. 2001) or have concentrated on special top-ics such as tunnel valleys (e.g. Huuse & Lykke-And...
