Outlines of the Late Quaternary history of the Drentsche AA valley (Drente, the Netherlands)

Abstract

An outline is given of the geomorphology and Late Quaternary history of the Drentsche Aa valley. The valley sediments are subdivided in fluvial, slope and aeolian sediments on lithological arguments. The vertical succession of the river valley sediments demonstrates a decreasing fluvial activity during the Weichselian. Tentatively four erosion phases are distinguished in the valley system
