Fluvial and aeolian interaction under permafrost condition: Weichselian Late Pleniglacial, Twente, Eastern Netherlands.
Close interaction between fluvial and aeolian deposition led to the formation of a distinct 'fluvio-aeolian' depositional environment in river valleys in the Netherlands during the last glacial maximum. We describe three sections illustrating this sedimentary environment. The primary sedim...
