Svahové sedimenty a jejich využití při paleoenvironmentální rekonstrukci a stratigrafii kvartéru.

Repaský, Jakub

Astract Slope sediments (colluvium) represent the most widespread terrestrial Quaternary sediments in mountainous and hilly areas, including Central Europe. They are the product of various processes and factors that, together with gravity - the most important factor in their formation - contribute to the creation of a wide range of deposits with different properties. Palaeoenvironmental and stratigraphic research on these facies is often of marginal interest to Quaternary geologists. However, due to the widespread distribution of these sediments, they cannot be overlooked. This study presents a literature review summarizing the research potential of colluvium as a palaeoenvironmental archive and discusses its stratigraphic significance. A substantial part of the work is devoted to analysis of the sedimentological and pedological studies, as well as the use of palaeontological material in colluvial research. Finally, potential problems associated with the study and interpretation of these sediments are discussed. Keywords: slope sediments, Quaternary, paleoenvironmental reconstructions, stratigraphy, glacial, Holocene
