Paleoenvironmental history of the Middle Dnieper Area from the Dnieper to Weichselian Glaciation: A case study of the Maksymivka loess profile

Assessment of the Dnieper Alluvial Riverbed Stability Affected by Intervention Discharge Downstream of Kaniv Dam

“…The river valley cross-section at Kaniv shows four distinct river terraces [52]. As far as the geological structure is concerned, this part of the Middle Dnieper area corresponds to the north-eastern branch of the Ukrainian shield running towards the Dnieper-Donets line [57]. The sedimentary complex constituting the upper structural part of the area under consideration is composed of rocks of all geologic periods from Permian to Anthropocene age [52].…”

An integrated rock-magnetic and geochemical approach to loess/paleosol sequences from Bohemia and Moravia (Czech Republic): Implications for the Upper Pleistocene paleoenvironment in central Europe

“…Along a transect from northwestern Europe towards the east and south-east, redoximorphic features and pseudogley characteristics in soils (known, for example, from Gleyic Chernozems and Gleyic or Stagnic Phaeozems) decrease and vanish in the Pannonian Basin. Typical steppe chernozem/kastanozem soils become predominant (Eckmeier et al, 2007;Marković et al, 2008;Gozhik et al, 2013).…”

Stratigraphic interpretation of loess in the marginal zone of the Dnieper I ice sheet and the evolution of its landscape after deglaciation (Dnieper Upland, Ukraine)

“…Eight mono liths were also collected to de ter mine the micromorphological char ac ter is tics of the soil ho ri zons se lected (Ap pen dix 1; Fig. 5) ac cord ing to the method used by Mroczek (e.g., Mroczek, 2008, 2013Fedorowicz et al, 2013;Gozhik et al, 2014).

“…As a re sult of these con di tions, gla cial tills on both Kremenchuk Res er voir sides are found at an el e vation dif fer ence of over 100 m. Con se quently, the mor pho log i cal and hypsometric sit u a tion of the loess de pos its is also dif fer ent (Gozhik, 2008). Their de tailed char ac ter is tics are shown for the left bank at the Maksymivka site (49°10'44"N, 33°10'13"E), where the loess-soil se quences show a gen er ally hor i zon tal or slightly in clined at ti tude and con tin u ous course (Komar et al, 2012;Gozhik et al, 2014). Lo cated al most op po site on the right shore of the res er voir, there are two sites: the main site of Nahirne (49°4'59.41"N;33°7'20.03"E) and the sup ple men tary site of Velyka Andrusivka (49°5'14.21"N;32°59'41.93"E) (Fig.…”
