Eemian-Weichselian Pleniglacial fluvial deposits in southern Poland (an example of the Vistula River valley in Kraków)
A fragment of the middle terrace in the VistulaRivervalley, nearby the railway station in Kraków, is formed by fluvial channel and overbank deposits of the PrądnikRiver, which bear a record of various environments affected by changing climatic conditions. The sedimentary succession includes two comp...
