The ELSA-Vegetation-Stack: Reconstruction of Landscape Evolution Zones (LEZ) from laminated Eifel maar sediments of the last 60,000 years
2016
Abstract Laminated sediment records from several maar lakes and dry maar lakes of the Eifel (Germany) reveal the history of climate, weather, environment, vegetation, and land use in central Europe during the last 60,000 years. The time series of the last 30,000 years is based on a continuous varve counted chronology, the MIS3 section is tuned to the Greenland ice — both with independent age control from 14C dates. Total carbon, pollen and plant macrofossils are used to synthesize a vegetation-stack, which is used together with the stacks from seasonal varve formation, flood layers, eolian dust content and volcanic tephra layers to define Landscape Evolution Zones (LEZ). LEZ 1 encompasses t…
Eckfeld Maar: Window into an Eocene Terrestrial Habitat in Central Europe
2010
: To mark the occasion of the 175th anniversary of the Rheinische Naturforschende Gesellschaft in 2009 and of the centennial of the Mainz Natural History Museum in 2010, we present a short account of our present knowledge of the Eckfeld Maar after 20 years of continuous research. This paper does not attempt to include all of the detailed results on the geology of the Eckfeld site or its biota. To date, nearly 250 papers and books have been published since the start of our project An up-to-date list of these publications can be found at http://www.eckfeldermaar.de.
27. A new holsteinian pollen record from the dry maar at Döttingen (Eifel)
2007
Abstract A new interglacial pollen sequence from the Dottingen dry maar in the Eifel region of the Rheinish Schield is presented. Palynology is used to correlate with several classical north German Holsteinian sites. The lake sediments reveal the complete interglacial and also 60 m of laminated sediments from the glacial preceding the Holsteinian. The interglacial section indicates limnic conditions in its lower part and telmatic conditions in its upper part with an intermediate episode of peat formation. Ash layers document intensive volcanism during the interglacial in the Eifel region. Some of the north German Holsteinian sites reveal spikes of high abundance of Pinus, Betula and Poaceae…

Eolian sedimentation in central European Auel dry maar from 60 to 13 ka
2021
AbstractThe climate in central Europe during the last 60 ka is characterized by rapid temperature and moisture changes and strong cold periods (Heinrich events). All these variations are preserved in sediments of marine and also some terrestrial archives. Here we present a continuous, terrestrial sediment record with almost all Greenland stadials and Heinrich events between 60 and 13 ka visible from carbonate roundness of the Eifel Laminated Sediment Archive Dust Stack-20 and CaCO3 data for central Europe. The carbonate roundness data show almost all stadials between 60 and 13 ka. CaCO3 data show a general transport system change with the beginning of Heinrich event 3. Since there are no ca…
Towards a dendrochronologically refined date of the Laacher See eruption around 13,000 years ago
2020
Highlights • Previous age estimates of the Laacher See Eruptions (LSE) around 12,900 years are still diverging and imprecise. • The combination of dendrochronology, wood anatomy, and 14C measurements holds the potential to establish a precise LSE date. • An absolute calendric date of the LSE would improve the synchronization of European Late Glacial to Holocene archives. Abstract The precise date of the Laacher See eruption (LSE), central Europe’s largest Late Pleistocene volcanic event that occurred around 13,000 years ago, is still unknown. Here, we outline the potential of combined high-resolution dendrochronological, wood anatomical and radiocarbon (14C) measurements, to refine the age …

La intervención de Cenicienta en la construcción de las pirámides. Un tipo iconográfico en la primera serie litográfica de las Maravillas del mundo
2020
En el siglo XVI se realiza la primera serie de litografías de las Maravillas del mundo. En ellas se representan las arquitecturas más emblemáticas de la Antigüedad. Pero en la relativa a las pirámides de Egipto se esconde un tipo iconográfico que pasa desapercibido si no se conocen las fuentes historiográficas griegas. Alude a Rhodopis, la primera Cenicienta, y su papel clave en la construcción de las pirámides. Maarten Van Heemskerck y Philips Galle nos guían hasta los historiadores clásicos Heródoto y Estrabón a través de la iconografía, para hacernos conocedores de la historia de la joven Rhodopis, una joven griega cuyo zapato toma un águila y deja caer en el regazo del faraón egipcio. D…

Gas hazard assessment at the Monticchio crater lakes of Mt. Vulture, a volcano in Southern Italy
2009
Geochemical investigations have shown that there is a considerable inflow of gas into both crater lakes of Monticchio, Southern Italy. These lakes are located in two maars that formed 140 000 years ago during Mt. Vulture volcanos last eruptive activity. Isotopic analyses suggest that CO2 and helium are of magmatic origin; the latter displays 3 He ⁄ 4 He isotope ratios similar to those measured in olivines of the maar ejecta. In spite of the fact that the amount of dissolved gases in the water is less than that found in Lake Nyos (Cameroon), both the results obtained and the historical reports studied indicate that these crater lakes could be highly hazardous sites, even though they are loca…
