The stratigraphy of lacustrine and deltaic sediments can be linked to outwash and ...

Paleomagnetic analysis of 54 sites indicates a polarity pattern with an ...

The results obtained on three cores revealed a complex evolution of the lacustrine basins. In general terms, the Holocene was characterized by low water levels, especially between ca 8000 and 3900 yr BP.
