Abstract

A glacial chronology based on in situ-produced 10Be surface exposure dating of moraines in the Bohemian Forest (Central Europe) was established. Eleven exposure ages obtained for moraine boulders in the Prášilské Lake and Laka Lake valleys (Czech Republic) were complemented by 10Be ages from Kleiner Arbersee (Germany) recalculated according to recently calibrated production rates in the Northern Hemisphere. The glacial phases in the Bohemian Forest occurred during the Last Glacial Maximum around 24.1 ± 2.5, 23.6 ± 2.4, 21.8 ± 2.0 and 19.5 ± 2.1 ka. Following phases of local glaciation occurred during the Northern Hemisphere deglaciation period around 16 ka and 14 ka. The last indicated phase may correlate with Older Dryas. The glacial chronology of the Bohemian Forest is in agreement with local glaciation chronologies in the Giant Mts. (Krkonoše Mts.) and the Eastern Alps.
