Luminescence dating of alluvial sediments from the Quaternary fan–terrace sequence of the lower Bruche valley, Upper Rhine Graben, France Abstract. Geochronological constraints on fluvial terraces provide valuable insights into channel migration and adjustment involved within actively meandering river systems. However, numerical age est...

A millennium of ore mining and smelting in the eastern Harz: a geospatial database spanning from the medieval period to the 20th century Abstract. The mid-mountain ranges are characterised by a medieval land occupation driven by various factors, which in turn affected the river systems. In particular, extraction and smelting activity l...
