Abstract:

Der Burgwall von Friedrichsruhe im Landkreis Parchim ist ein markantes Relikt der slawischen Besiedlung in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Er befindet sich auf einer sandigen Kuppe, die heute von nassen Wiesen und Moorflächen umgeben ist. Welche Gründe die Slawen dazu veranlassten, an dieser exponierten Stelle einen Burgwall zu errichten, ist bisher nicht umfassend bekannt. Diese Arbeit trägt mit Hilfe von bodenkundlichen Methoden dazu bei, die Genese der Böden im Umfeld (mehr …)

Abstract:

Der aktuelle Entwicklungsstand der Datenbank IRSDB wird vorgestellt. In der IRSDB werden Radiokohlenstoffdatierungen von Böden gesammelt und zum Abruf bereitgestellt. Vorzugsweise enthält die Datenbank Daten von Bodenprofilen, aber auch Einzeldatierungen sind erfasst. Die Daten wurden unter unterschiedlichen Fragestellungen aus Archäologie und Bodenkunde gewonnen und sollen für verschiedene Aspekte (Bodenkunde, Archäologie, Klimaforschung) (mehr …)

Abstract:

One of the most destructive earthquakes on the Iberian Peninsula (M_s 6.7) occurred in 1884 along the Ventas de Zafarraya Fault (VZF, southern Spain). New paleoseismological data based on trenching and radiometric dating allow the faulting history in the last 10 ky to be characterized. Four major events (M_s around 6.5 ± 0.5) are revealed, which are regarded as maximum credible earthquakes along the fault. The mean slip rate during the Holocene is estimated to be on the (mehr …)

Abstract:

In 1884 one of the most destructive earthquakes of the Iberian Peninsula (M 6.7) occurred along the Ventas de Zafarraya Fault in the Betic Cordilleras. New paleoseismic data obtained from four trenches and ¹⁴C datings, allow to reconstruct the activity of the fault for the last 10 ka. These data indicate a recurrence period of 2-3 ka for major, surface rupturing earthquakes. The displacement rate during the Holocene was estimated to be on the order of 0.3 and 0.45 mm/a.

Abstract:

Twenty years after the first International Radiocarbon Database Workshop, and 13 yr after the setup of a preliminary structure for a worldwide database on ¹⁴C dates of soils, sound reasons and excuses for not establishing a real and globally accessible database have diminished. Climate change itself is widely accepted as reality now, and the strong demand of the modeling community for reliable data of the carbon pool—especially in soils—has been maintained.

Abstract:

The Roman archaeological site of Baelo Claudia (Cádiz, south Spain) is located within the Gibraltar Arch, a region with no significant recent or historical seismicity. However, previous studies have emphasized the occurrence of repeated strong archaeoseismic damage (intensity≥IX MSK) at Baelo Claudia tentatively bracketed in this study around ad 40–60 and ad 260–290. A multidisciplinary study has been carried out including the detailed mapping of surface deformation and building damage, surface geology and geomorphology, collection of structural data, and an extensive ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey.

Abstract:

Shallow drilling in the lagoon of the Cabo de Gata area proved sedimentary evidence for a palaeo-tsunami along that part of the Spanish Mediterranean coast. Several coarse-grained intervals form fining-up and thinning-up sequences that are interpreted as tsunamites. Inland-extending sand sheets are used to identify tsunamigenic inundations. Other indicative features found are erosive bases, rip-up clasts, broken shells of bivalves and benthic/planktic foraminifera. The coarse-grained intervals consist of up to three sequences separated from each other by a silty mud drape. These intervals are interpreted as deposits of a tsunami train and correspond to three individual waves. Radiocarbon dating reveals evidence that these layers can be ascribed to deposition during the 1522 Almerı́a earthquake.
