Three climatic cycles recorded in a loess-palaeosol sequence at Semlac (Romania) – Implications for dust accumulation in south-eastern Europe Open
Recent investigations of the Semlac loess section in the south-eastern Carpathian Basin, which is situated at an undercut slope position on the right bank of the Mureş River in its lower reaches (Banat region, western Romanian), are presen…

Three climatic cycles recorded in a loess-palaeosol sequence at Semlac (Romania) - implications for dust accumulation in the Carpathian Basin and the northern Hemisphere Open
Semlac is regarded as a key section for the Carpathian Basin because of the good preservation of the fine silt. The site is situated at the Mures River in its lower reaches (Banat region, western Romanian). The more than 10 m thick loess s…

Loess encounters of three kinds: Charles Lyell talks about, reads about, and looks at loess Open
Charles Lyell (1797–1875) was an important loess pioneer. His major contribution was to distribute information on the nature and existence of loess via his influential book ‘The Principles of Geology’. He was obviously impressed by loess w…

Digital image analysis of outcropping sediments Open
The possibility to use colour data, a fast and inexpensive method of proxy data generation, extracted from two selected loess-paleosol sequences is discussed here. We compare the outcome from analysing outcrop images taking by digital came…

Sedimentary data from the Semlac loess-paleosol sequence Open
The volumetric magnetic susceptibility was measured at frequencies of 300 and 3000 Hz in a static field of 300 mA/m using a Magnon International VSFM in the Laboratory for Environmental- and Palaeomagnetism at the University of Bayreuth. T…
