Abstract
A tribute to Menke (1970): Results of pollen analysis on the Pleistocene stratigraphy and the Pliocene–Pleistocene boundary in Schleswig-Holstein
Highlights
The Quaternary history of Europe has been strongly influenced by the waxing and waning of ice masses and sea level oscillations
Climate change drove the behaviour of both ice sheets and sea levels and shaped terrestrial environments as far as land morphology, plant cover, fauna occurrence and diversity, and human migrations and survival were concerned
A major effort undertaken in the 20th century dealt with the assessment and the critical inventory of Quaternary stratigraphic units
Summary
The Quaternary history of Europe has been strongly influenced by the waxing and waning of ice masses and sea level oscillations. In Menke’s (1970) paper, the author provided a significant overview of the Pleistocene stratigraphy of SchleswigHolstein and of the issues concerned.
