Talgenese im Quartär : eine Standortbestimmung

[摘要] State-of-the-art knowledge of valley-forming processes inthe Alps and the southern and, especially, the northern forelandis presented. Based on the stratigraphy of the Quaternary infill of formerly broadly and deeply excavated valleysystems,it is concluded that the main erosion predates the"Rissian" of the classical nomenclature by at least one glacialcycle. A comparison in landscape evolution of the Cover-Gravel-Area in eastern Switzerland with the central and western foreland points to active tectonic adjustments duringthe Quaternary. Also, the Sedimentation in the deeply eroded("overdeepened") Valleys of the Foreland and the Alpine Border was initiated, most probably, by the "Middle Pleistocenechange in geomorphological evolution" "Mittelpleistozäne Wende").
