“…On the other hand, several other studies found an age overestimation after fading correction and/or good agreement with independent age control from radiocarbon dating or quartz OSL (e.g. Preusser et al, 2003;Gaar and Preusser, 2012;Lowick et al, 2012Lowick et al, , 2015Veit et al, 2017). For this reason, we present both uncorrected and fadingcorrected IR 50 ages.…”

Abstract. Deposits of the Reuss Glacier in the central northern Alpine foreland of Switzerland are dated using luminescence methodology. Methodological considerations on partial bleaching and fading correction of different signals imply the robustness of the results. An age of ca. 25 ka for sediment directly overlying basal lodgement till corresponds well with existing age constraints for the last maximal position of glaciers of the northern Swiss Alpine Foreland. Luminescence ages imply an earlier advance of Reuss Glacier into the lowlands during Marine Isotope Stage 4. The presented data are compared to findings from other parts of the Alps regarding glacier dynamics and palaeoclimatological implications, such as the source of precipitation during the Late Pleistocene.

“…Together, these characteristics are indicative of periglacial slope deposits (PSDs), i.e. the products of frost cracking, cryoturbation, solifluction and/or debris flows (Raab et al , 2007; Veit et al , 2017). Compared with last‐glacial PSDs (Mailänder and Veit, 2001), those of the Rinikerfeld are strikingly thick, suggesting intensive subaerial erosion and redeposition of older unconsolidated sediments but probably also of local bedrock during the time of their formation (Fig.…”

While timing and ice extent of the last glacial maximum are generally well known, the courses of earlier glaciations have remained poorly constrained, with one of the main reasons being the scarcity of sedimentary archives. This study introduces a new palaeolake record from a Mid‐Pleistocene glaciofluvial channel system in the Lower Aare Valley (Northern Switzerland). The record of Rinikerfeld comprises a >40 m long succession of Quaternary deposits that are targeted by multi‐method sedimentological analysis. Sedimentary facies together with geochemical and geotechnical parameters, pollen content, as well as luminescence ages allow the reconstruction of the establishment, evolution and infilling of the early Marine Isotope Stage 6‐aged Rinikerfeld Palaeolake. A drastic change in lake sediment composition and structure indicates cessation of the initial glacially derived input, which is explained by landscape modification and drainage rerouting during the Penultimate (Beringen) Glaciation. Geochemical and palynological data further reveal cold, initially periglacial but slightly ameliorating, climate conditions, while the lake was progressively filled up by local runoff, before being buried by periglacial colluvial diamicts, and potentially overridden by ice. It is therefore concluded that the onset of the Beringen Glaciation was an environmentally as well as geomorphically dynamic time period in the Northern Alpine Foreland.
