Abstract

The 35 m-thick record of fine-grained fluvial and aeolian deposits in the Roer Valley Graben (south-eastern Netherlands) forms an important long-term archive of terrestrial landscape development in a changing climate. Jeroen Schokker explores the sedimentary, paleo-ecological and dating aspects of this sedimentary sequence. He reconstructs the prevailing sedimentary processes, depositional patterns and palaeo-environmental development during the Middle and Late Quaternary. By applying Optically Stimulated Luminescence dating on quartz grains, he is able to present an accurate assessment of the timing of deposition of these sediments.
