The workshop will be held during the Division 1 Conference in Ulm (see p. 18). Its format will be similar to that of the first AEOMED Workshop in Florence (10-12 October 2012):
Friday, 4 October: Workshop
Part of the time will comprise oral and poster presentations on aeolian sediments and additions to soils in the Mediterranean. Another part of the time will be reserved for discussing collaboration between research groups working in various Mediterranean areas. Possibilities for common efforts to improve our knowledge on aeolian sediments over the Mediterranean region, their occurrences, sources, trajectories, and their analytical identification will be discussed in the group. Known occurrences of loess and loess-like sediments that are not yet included in the loess map of Europe will be compiled.
Saturday, 5 October: Field trip
The topic of the field trip will be “Landscape history, soil development and paleolithic caves along the rivers Blau and Danube”. The first highlights of the tour will be the karstic spring of the river Blau, followed by the world-famous palaeolithic caves „Geißenklösterle“ and „Hohle Fels“, where Christopher Miller (Tübingen) will present geoarcheological studies including micro- morphological analyses of the cave sediments. In the afternoon, we will visit a loess-paleosol sequence developed in last glacial loess sitting on the penultimate glacial terrace of the Danube river (photo to the right). Finally we will arrive at Mt. Bussen (767 m) consisting of molasse. During the penultimate glacial period it was surrounded by the alpine ice from three sides. We will study several soils developed on different parent materials including sandy molasse (Arenosol with distinct hydromorphic features whose genesis will be discussed) and penultimate glacial moraine at Mt. Bussen (Luvisol).
