Paleoclimate change record in the Dejvice loess-paleosol sequence (Prague, Czech Republic): preliminary results

Abstrakt

Loess-paleosol sequences provide valuable information about periods of increased dust accumulation, erosion or landscape-stability (soil formation) triggered by changes in climate (Frechen, 2003). This study is focused on the loess-paleosol sequence in Dejvice, located near Prague city centre, in the Czech Republic, which was sampled during a rescue research.
