Permafrost changes in Europe during the last glacial

Reconstruction of former permafrost is based on specific indicators which represent relics of features developed above or within the permafrost. Their interpretation in terms of genesis and (palaeo)climatic significance, however, is in some cases still under debate. Previously the reconstruction of...
