Ein weit verbreiteter Hiatus in spatglacialen Seesedimenten: Mogliche Ursachen fur Fehlinterpretationen von Pollendiagrammen und Hinweis auf klimatisch verursachte Seespiegelbewegungen.

Abstract

Late-Weichselian lake deposits from several sites (mainly in Schleswig-Holstein) show an abrupt change from Allerod to Younger Dryas sediments. The absence of transitional sediments points to a hiatus. Marks of erosion on the surface of the Allerod layers, as observed at some times, confirm this assumption. Pollen analytical investigations show that the hiatus may include parts of Allerod and Younger Dryas layers. The hiatus seems to be caused by a lowering of the water level and/or other phenomena controlled by climate.-from English summary
