New OSL dating of UK loess : indications of two phases of Late Glacial dust accretion in SE England and climate implications
Windblown dust deposits or loess, locally known in the UK as brickearth, blanket many parts of southern England outside the limits of the British and Irish Ice Sheet. The best-studied loess exposures occur in Kent, southeast England, where the deposits are believed to be Late Glacial in age. New sed...
