Luminescence dating of the Stratzing loess profile (Austria) – Testing the potential of an elevated temperature post-IR IRSL protocol
Christine Thiel,Christine Thiel,Jan-Pieter Buylaert,Jan-Pieter Buylaert,Andrew S. Murray,Birgit Terhorst,Ingo Hofer,Sumiko Tsukamoto,Manfred Frechen +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a post-IR IR stimulated luminescence (IRSL) dating protocol was applied to polymineral fine-grain samples of the loess/palaeosol sequence in Stratzing, Lower Austria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landslide susceptibility assessment using “weights-of-evidence” applied to a study area at the Jurassic escarpment (SW-Germany)
TL;DR: In this paper, a GIS-based model for the assessment of the landslide susceptibility in a selected area of the Jurassic escarpment in the Swabian Alb (SW-Germany) is described, using the weights-of-evidence method.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This article reviewed quantitative and semi-quantitative approaches for reconstructing climatic variables in the Austrian and Swiss sector of the Alpine region within this time interval and identified a number of developments that would provide major advances for palaeoclimate reconstruction for the period 60-8 ka in the Alps and their forelands.
Journal ArticleDOI
GIS-based assessment of landslide susceptibility on the base of the Weights-of-Evidence model
TL;DR: In this article, a statistical/probabilistic method, referred to as Weights-of-Evidence (WofE), is applied in a GIS environment in order to derive quantitative spatial information on the predisposition to landslides.
Journal ArticleDOI
The concept of the Pleistocene periglacial cover beds in central Europe: A review
Arno Semmel,Birgit Terhorst +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the occurrence and characteristics of periglacial cover beds are reviewed, summarizing the present state-of-the-art, and four main layers are distinguished: topmost, upper, middle and basal cover beds.
