Sea cliff at Glowe: stratigraphy and absolute age chronology of the Jasmund Pleistocene sedimentary record
Four remarkable Pleistocene cliff outcrops scattered across the peninsula of Jasmund exhibit the dynamics of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet during the Weichselian glaciation in this area. The investigated sites display up to 30 m thick sequences of glacial tills with intercalated (glaci)fluvial to (glac...

| Summary: | Four remarkable Pleistocene cliff outcrops scattered across the peninsula of Jasmund exhibit the dynamics of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet during the Weichselian glaciation in this area. The investigated sites display up to 30 m thick sequences of glacial tills with intercalated (glaci)fluvial to (glaci)lacustrine sediments. Based on detailed lithofacies analyses and a physical age chronology, we trace the reconstruction of the depositional sequences and their corresponding stratigraphic position within the Weichselian record. |
