In Hungary, many loess/palaeosol sequences have been found to be discontinuous. In order to allow for correlations with other Quaternary records, reliable chronologies are needed. We therefore apply post-IR infrared (IR) stimulated luminescence (post-IR IRSL; pIRIR 290 ) dating to the uppermost 20 m of the loess sequence at Paks. The pIRIR 290 ages are compared with blue quartz OSL ages to test for potential age overestimation due to poor signal re-setting, and the observed good agreement is taken to imply that the more difficult to bleach pIRIR 290 signal was reset prior to deposition. Our pIRIR 290 based chronology reveals that most of the Late Pleistocene loess was deposited during marine isotope stage (MIS) 3 and during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). This is in disagreement with formerly published ages. The discrepancy can most likely be explained by anomalous fading (resulting in an age underestimate); this conclusion is supported by our uncorrected 'standard' IRSL ages. We further confirm that the Basaharc Double soil complex can be correlated with MIS 7; the underlying loess and soils cannot be dated accurately because the pIRIR 290 signal approaches saturation.

In regions thought to be dominated by continuous loess deposits such as the Chinese loess plateau (e.g. Kukla, 1987) and the southeast Carpathian Basin (Vojvodina region; e.g. Marković et al., 2008Marković et al., , 2011 Fitzsimmons et al., 2012) to marine isotope stage (MIS) 13, the BA soil to MIS 11, and the BD soil complex to MIS 9 and 7. The first 'absolute' ages of the MB soil were presented by Borsy et al. (1979). At Mende ( Fig. 1), they dated the loess above the MB soil to 105 ± 17 ka using thermoluminescence (TL). In Paks (Fig. 1), the loess underlying this soil was dated to 125 ± 20 ka; they concluded that the MB soil represents the last interglacial. In contrast, Wintle and Packman (1988) argued, based on their TL data for the loess underlying the Mende Upper soil (Mende felsı; MF, also subdivided into MF 1 and MF 2 ), that the MB cannot be correlated with the last interglacial, but has to be much older. Singhvi et al. (1989) claimed that the BD 2 soil (therein called F 3 after Bronger (1975)) corresponds to the last interglacial. Several studies (Zöller et al., 1994; Oches and McCoy, 1995;Frechen et al., 1997; Novothny et al., 2002) have now identified the MF 2 as the last interglacial palaeosol, thus placing the BD 1 -BD 2 soil complex, the BA and the MB soil all in the Middle Pleistocene. Zöller et al. (1994) presented TL ages of 133 ± 15 ka (between BD 1 and BD 2 ) and 135 ± 12 ka (below BD 2 ) for the sequence in Basaharc (Fig. 1...

“…The Serbian loesspaleosol sequences are some of the oldest and most complete eolian sediments in Europe. A recent paleomagnetic study reported the B/M boundary in the lower part of the Stari Slankamen section [15]. Over the past several years, researchers have conducted much work in this area, including detailed descriptions of the sedimentary sections [16][17][18] using grain size [19,20] and carbonate [21] analyses, and magnetic susceptibility [17,18,21] to reconstruct paleoclimatic information.…”

This paper reports a loess-paleosol sequence located in the Danube River basin, Serbia, which formed at least since the latest part of the early Pleistocene, and before the paleomagnetic B/M boundary. Various magnetic parameters of the Serbian V-L 1 -V-S 4 loess-paleosol sequence have been measured and analyzed in the Titel Loess Plateau. These parameters show a very similar magnetic behavior compared with that of the Chinese loess. There is a general positive relationship between magnetic susceptibility () and pedogenesis. The main contributors to  are the magnetic grains of SP (superparamagnetic) and SD (single domain) magnetic domains, while MD (multi domain) contributes only a small percentage. The difference in  between loess and paleosol mainly is caused by pedogenesis. The very fine magnetic minerals increase gradually with increasing soil development (from loess to soil), and they lead to higher . The thermomagnetic curves show thatmagnetic minerals in the loess layers are magnetite and maghemite, both providing a major contribution to . In contrast the paleosol layers mainly are composed of magnetite, with almost no or a very small amount of maghemite, as implied by a reversible thermomagnetic behavior. This indicates that pedogenic conditions during V-S 3 and V-S 4 strong soil development have resulted in maghemite that is no longer stable, and has been resolved or converted to other stable phase minerals. This likely indicates that soil moisture during V-S 3 and V-S 4 development exceeded a critical condition of maghemite stability.

Abstract:The research aimed at testing the combination of GAM/M-GAM models (Geosite Assessment Model/Modified Geosite Assessment Model) on selected geoheritage sites (geosites) of great scientific significance and geotourism potential. Testing was done on eight sites in the City of Belgrade (Serbian capital), an area which has significant potential for geotourism development in typical urban conditions. For this purpose, an assessment scale was used to highlight differences and similarities between main and additional values of the observed geosites. The modification of the original GAM model is based on the inclusion of visitors' opinions regarding the importance of indicators in the assessment process. The assessment was done by using both GAM/M-GAM and its results were analyzed and compared afterwards. The analysis has successfully identified locations and features of geosites that require action for maintaining or increasing their overall value and function. Moreover, the principal aim of the paper was to analyze the relevance of each subindicator for the assessment process by introducing the importance factor in the modified model. The authors were able to point out those values of principal importance for
