The multistage structural development of the Upper Weichselian Jasmund Glacitectonic Complex (Rügen, NE Germany)

Sea cliff at Glowe: stratigraphy and absolute age chronology of the Jasmund Pleistocene sedimentary record

“…In addition to the depositional environment and the stratigraphic position of the distinct Pleistocene layers (Fig. 2b), the formation of the glacitectonic complex of Jasmund as a whole has been another focus of research (Gehrmann, 2018;Gehrmann and Harding, 2018;Gehrmann et al, 2019).…”

Coastal cliff at Lenzer Bach on Jasmund Peninsula, Rügen Island (Pleistocene Stripe 4): reconstructed history of glacitectonic deformation based on fold geometry and microstructural mapping

“…The asymmetric geometry and vergence of the tight fold indicate a NE-directed growth of the imbricate thrust stacks at this location within the glacitectonic complex. The documented values correspond to the orientation of the syncline in the best-fit model constructed by Gehrmann (2018). .…”

“…Steinich, 1972;Groth, 2003;Ludwig, 2011). More recently, Gehrmann and Harding (2018) and Gehrmann (2018) classified this area as a glacitectonic complex, where Stripe 4 is in a proximal position within the southern structural sub-complex of the overall Jasmund Glacitectonic Complex. The Pleistocene succession is preserved in the footwall syncline between the hanging-wall anticlines of two adjoining imbricate thrust sheets, which are separated by a steep ramp (Fig.…”

“…NE-verging syncline of Pleistocene Stripe 4 within a framework of imbricate thrust sheets exhibiting hanging-wall anticlines of chalk(based on Steinich, 1972, andGehrmann, 2018). The depicted depth of the decollement (at 105-120 m b.s.l.)…”

The Quaternary sequence of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: areas of specific interest and ongoing investigations

“…Detailed macro-and microstructural studies have developed a kinematic model to explain the bi-lobed structure and the internal architecture of the glaciotectonic complex (Gehrmann, 2018;Gehrmann et al, 2019). Sedimentlandform associations and flow-direction criteria derived from a variety of glacial deposits have been used to reconstruct successive glacial advances and retreats of this mobile ice sheet across the peninsula of Jasmund.…”
