Abstract

Compilation of available data from boreholes and seismic surveys in the Dutch part of the North Sea has led to a new map of Saale glacial features. The distribution of Saale sediments in this map in combination with the morphology enable a tentative reconstruction of the Saalian ice margin parallel to the Dutch coast. This suggests a revision of recent theories of Saale glacial events based on land data.
