“…There are counterexamples of European valleys, however, that did not see a braidplain re-establish. For example, the Warta in Poland (Vandenberghe et al, 1994), the Scheldt in Belgium (Kiden, 1991) and the Tisza in Hungary (Kasse et al, 2010). The Rhine has examples of both these behaviours.…”

Although numerous studies have been performed on fluvial system change over the last glacial-interglacial transition, the response of river systems to allogenic (climate) and autogenic forcing mechanisms and timing of this response are still not completely understood (e.g. Starkel, 1983;Vandenberghe et al., 1995;Rose, 1995;Blum & Törnqvist, 2000;Gibbard & Lewin, 2002;Vandenberghe, 2008;Erkens, 2009). The valleys of the Rhine and the Maas in the Lower Rhine Embayment have a long research history on this topic (Pons,1957;Van de Meene, 1977;Verbraeck, 1984;Klostermann, 1992;Schirmer, 1995;Berendsen & Stouthamer, 2001;Cohen et al., 2002;Busschers et al., 2007;Erkens et al., 2011). In this area, a well-preserved terraced morphology exists, with OSL-datable fluvial sequences with aeolian cover and with palaeochannel fills that allow vegetation AbstractIn the Weichselian, the Lower Rhine in the Dutch-German border region has used three courses, dissecting ice-marginal topography inherited from the Saalian. In the Late Weichselian, the three courses functioned simultaneously, with the central one gaining importance and the outer ones abandoning. This study aims to reconstruct the fluvial development and forcings that culminated in abandonment of the northern branch 'Oude IJssel-Rhine', at the time of the Lateglacial to Holocene transition. The fluvial architecture is studied using a cored transect over the full width of the valley, detailed cross-sections over palaeochannels and geomorphological analysis using digital elevation and borehole data. Biostratigraphy, radiocarbon dating and OSL dating provide a timeframe to reconstruct the temporal fluvial development. In its phase of abandonment, the fluvial evolution of the Oude IJssel-Rhine course is controlled by the ameliorating climate and related vegetation and discharge changes, besides by intrinsic (autogenic) fluvial behaviour such as the competition for discharge with the winning central branch and the vicinity of the Lippe tributary confluence. The rapid climate warming at the start of the Late Glacial resulted in flow contraction as the initial response. Other fluvial geomorphic adjustments followed, with some delay. An aggrading braided or transitional system persisted until the start of the Allerød, when channel patterns finally changed to meandering. Floodplain incision occurred at the Allerød -Younger Dryas transition and a multi-channel system developed fed by Rhine discharge. At the start of the Holocene, this system transformed into a small-scale, local meandering system, which was abandoned shortly after the start of the Holocene.The final abandonment of the Oude IJssel-Rhine and Niers-Rhine courses can be attributed to deep incision of the Central Rhine course in the earliest Holocene and is considered to be controlled by flow contraction induced by climate and related vegetation and discharge changes.

“…It brings up the question of chronology of the high river runoff epoch in Central and Eastern Europe. In the central part of the East European Plain large meandering palaeochannels (macromeanders) were dated between 18 and 13 ka cal BP (Borisova et al, 2006;Sidorchuk et al, 2009 (Szumanski, 1983(Szumanski, , 1986Vandenberghe et al, 1994;Gębica et al, 2009) and Hungary (Kasse et al, 2010), about 15.5 ka cal BP (12.8 ka 14 C BP) in the Lower Danube region (Howard et al, 2004). In southern Poland some rivers did not change their pattern from braiding to large meanders during the Late Glacial and kept braiding to the beginning of the Holocene (Starkel et al, 1996;Gębica, 2011), other rivers transformed from meandering back to braiding in the Younger Dryas (Starkel and Gębica, 1995), but in all cases the Late Glacial phase of increased fluvial had declined almost exactly at the Younger Dryas / Holocene transition (Gębica, 2013).…”

A set of 121 radiocarbon and OSL dates has been compiled from the Upper Dnieper River and tributary valleys, Western European Russia. Each date was attributed according to geomorphic/sedimentological events and classes of fluvial activity. Summed probability density functions for each class were used to establish phases of increasing and reducing fluvial activity. The oldest detected reduction of fluvial activity was probably due to glacial damming at LGM. Within the Holocene three palaeohydrological epochs of millennial-scale were found: (1) high activity at 12,000-8,000 cal BP marked by large river palaeochannels; (2) low activity at 8,000-3,000 cal BP marked by formation of zonal-type soils on -floodplains; short episodes of high floods occurred between 6,500-4,400 cal BP; (3) contrasting hydrological oscillations since 3,000 cal BP with periods of high floods between 3,000-2,300 (2,000) and 900-100 cal BP separated by long interval of low floods 2,300 (2,000)-900 cal BP when floodplains were not inundated -zonal-type soils were developing and permanent settlements existed on floodplains. In the last millennium, four centennialscale intervals were found: high flooding intervals are mid-11-mid-15 th century and mid-17-mid-20 th century. Intervals of flood activity similar to the present-day were: mid-15-mid-17 th century and since mid-19 th century till present. In the context of palaeohydrological changes, discussed are selected palaeogeographic issues such as: position of the glacial boundary at LGM, role of changing amounts of river runoff in the Black Sea level changes, floodplain occupation by Early Medieval population.

“…Ez arra utalhat, hogy a megmintázott holocén homokzátonyok nagyobb energiájú közegben formálódtak, azaz a Maros energiája nagyobb lehetett a holocén során, mint a pleisztocénben, illetve némileg durvább lehetett a hordalékhozama is. Ugyanakkor ez ellentmondani látszik a korábbi kutatási eredményeknek (Kasse et al 2010, Gábris et al 2012, amelyek szerint a pleisztocén hideg fázisaiban kavicsolódtak fel a medrek és a melegebb időszakokban szállítódhattak tovább. Azonban az általam vizsgált fenékhordalék a nagyrészt a finom és durva homok tartományába esik (d 90 =60-600 µm), a homokos medrű vízfolyások hordalékának változásáról a klímával kapcsolatban pedig nincs összehasonlító hazai adat.…”
