The existence of pieces of the Variscan belt in the Alpine basement has been acknowledged for a long time but the correlation of these massifs to the litho-tectonic domains established in Western Europa outside the Alpine chain is still disputed. Due to ...

The coast-line evolution and vegetation from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, ca. 25 ka cal AP) until the middle Holocene are reconstructed from a digital terrain model and a postglacial sea level curve and pollen analysis of a Donatia-Astelia cushion bog ...
