Abstract
Palaeoenvironmental reconstruction on the basis of Quaternary palaeo dune sequences on Fuerteventura
Highlights
The occurrence of several palaeosurfaces promises a high potential of those Quaternary dune archives on northern Fuerteventura
The dune archives are influenced by the imprint of volcanic material and Saharan dust
Are periods of surface formation dependent on reduced sand supply or on changes in climatic conditions? Which soil forming processes contribute to the characteristics of palaeosurface layers? What is the influence of Saharan dust? As dating of lava flows on northern Fuerteventura revealed Middle to Late Pleistocene ages, a further question refers to the relationship between dune formation and volcanic activity
Summary
The volcanic origin of the Canarian Archipelago widely determines the landscape of these islands. The occurrence of several palaeosurfaces promises a high potential of those Quaternary dune archives on northern Fuerteventura.
