This study focuses on a fluvio-lacustrine sediment archive from Paleolake Alf (33-13.8 cal. ka BP) in the West Eifel Volcanic Field, Germany. It formed due to volcanic eruptions of the Wartgesberg Volcano Complex that blocked the Alf River with scoria and lava and created a dammed lake. In the Alf V...
