Weathering mantles and their significance for geomorphological evolution of central and northern Europe since the Mesozoic

P Migoń, K Lidmar-Bergström - Earth-Science Reviews, 2001‏ - Elsevier
Weathering mantles (saprolites) are very widespread in central, western, and northern
Europe, where they form thick near-surface residual deposits, often in excess of 50 m. They …

Sources of non-glacial, loess-size quartz silt and the origins of “desert loess”

BJ Smith, JS Wright, WB Whalley - Earth-Science Reviews, 2002‏ - Elsevier
Descriptions of peridesertic loess deposits and possible non-glacial origins for silt size
quartz are reviewed, including direct release from weathered bedrock. Results from salt and …

Mechanisms of loess-sized quartz silt production and their relative effectiveness: laboratory simulations

J Wright, B Smith, B Whalley - Geomorphology, 1998‏ - Elsevier
The production of loess-sized quartz silt is frequently ascribed to glacial grinding
mechanisms. In this study a series of laboratory simulations was set up, the purpose of …
