New chronology of the best developed loess/paleosol sequence of Hungary capturing the past 1.1 ma: Implications for correlation and proposed pan-Eurasian stratigraphic schemes

Periodicities of paleoclimate variations in the first high-resolution non-orbitally tuned grain size record of the past 1 Ma from SW Hungary and regional, global correlations

“…Loess can represent such a semi-continuous terrestrial paleoenvironmental record (Pécsi, 1990;Pye, 1995). The substantial loess deposits of the Middle and Lower Danube Basin in southeastern Europe are the thickest and most complete terrestrial paleoenvironmental records in Europe (Buggle et al, 2009(Buggle et al, , 2013Marković et al, 2011Marković et al, , 2015Jordanova and Petersen, 1999;Jordanova et al, 2007Jordanova et al, , 2008Panaiotu et al, 2001;Rădan, 2012Sümegi et al, 2011Sümegi et al, 2018). Loess and paleosol sequences (LPS) of the Danube Basin go back 1 Ma (Buggle et al, 2009(Buggle et al, , 2013Jordanova and Petersen, 1999;Jordanova et al, 2007Jordanova et al, , 2008Marković et al, 2011Marković et al, , 2015Sümegi et al, 2011;Sümegi et al, 2018).…”

The wealth of studies dealing with the comprehensive analysis of these paleoarchives yielded information on chronology, stratigraphy, geochemistry, paleoecology, as well as environmental magnetic characteristics of these sites on the scale of multiple millennia (Fitzsimmons et al, 2012;Marković et al, 2011Marković et al, , 2015Sümegi et al, 2011Sümegi et al, , 2018.…”

However, most multiproxy studies published so far from Mid-Danube Basin sites are either low resolution, or use only a single -mainly magnetic susceptibility-proxy or two (e.g.…”

A 180 ka record of environmental change at Erdut (Croatia): a new chronology for the loess–palaeosol sequence and its implications for environmental interpretation

“…Traditionally, researchers have relied on broad stratigraphy, e.g. position and number of palaeosols (Marković et al ., 2015), geomagnetic polarity reversal tie points (Marković et al ., 2011; Sümegi et al ., 2018), and sedimentological correlations with distant ice cores (An, 2000; Rousseau et al ., 2002; Antoine et al ., 2009). However, these methods assume continuous deposition and the absence of erosion, which has since been shown to be erroneous (Stevens et al ., 2006, 2018).…”

Clumped isotope paleotemperatures from MIS 5 soil carbonates in southern Hungary

“…European loess-paleosol sequences often provide a record of MIS 5, including the LIG, but these have remained largely underutilized so far due to poor dating and a lack of reliable temperature proxies. Most studies provided information on weathering and pedogenesis from LIG paleosols (S1) using magnetic indicators (Buggle et al, 2009(Buggle et al, , 2014Marković et al, 2011;Fitzsimmons et al, 2012;Zeeden et al, 2016;Sümegi et al, 2018), grain size (Novothny et al, 2011;Terhorst et al, 2012;Antoine et al, 2013;Sprafke et al, 2014) and chemical proxies (Buggle et al, 2013;Galović, 2014;Hošek et al, 2015;Obreht et al, 2016). At the same time, quantitative vegetation, rainfall and temperature reconstructions (Panaiotu et al, 2001;Zech et al, 2013;Schreuder et al, 2016;Marković et al, 2018) are scarce and sometimes inconsistent.…”
