Die Vergletscherungsgeschichte des Andenvorlandes östlich des Nördlichen Patagonischen Inlandeises und der transandinen Tiefenlinie

Ziel des Projektes ist es, nachzuweisen, daß die bislang gültige Auffassung, in den Kaltzeiten sei auch nördlich des Südpatagonischen Inlandeises ein geschlossener Gebirgsschild ausgebildet gewesen, der sich weit in das östliche Andenvorland erstreckte, nicht zutrifft. Darüber hinaus sollen die bisher erzielten Ergebnisse zur Vergletscherungsgeschichte des südlichen Andenvorlandes in dem sich nördlich anschließenden Raum überprüft und ergänzt werden. Die Geländearbeiten werden in drei Teilräumen (östlich der transandinen Tiefenlinie, im Raum des Lago Pueyrredon und im Raum Lago Buenos Aires) durchgeführt.

Organic chemistry analyses of sediment profile NTG16 from the northern Alps (Nesseltalgraben, Germany)

Glacial landforms in the region formerly occupied by the Haslach glacier, southern Black Forest, south-west Germany

This dataset contains ESRI shapefiles of mapped glacial landforms, i.e., initial cirques, cirques, moraines, and moraine crests in the region formerly occupied by the former Haslach glacier in the southern Black Forest (48° N, 8° E WGS 1984), south-west Germany. The last glaciation maximum ice extent of the former Haslach glacier, inferred from ice-marginal moraines, is also provided. Geomorphological mapping was undertaken for the selection of suitable sites for beryllium-10 surface exposure dating of moraine-boulder surfaces for the establishment of a regional glacier chronology. The mapping of glacial landforms in the region formerly occupied by the former Haslach glacier in the southern Black Forest involved the interpretation of derivatives of the high-resolution DGM1 digital elevation model (xy-resolution: 1 m) of the State Agency for Geoinformation and Land Development (LGL) of the state of Baden-Württemberg, freely available at: https://opengeodata.lgl-bw.de/#/(sidenav:product/3) (last access: 6 February 2025), coupled with extensive field campaigns in 2020-2022 CE. To achieve the greatest possible accuracy during the mapping of glacial landforms, exposures were inspected, if available. The shapefiles can be opened with open-source geographic information system software. The coordinate reference system of the shapefiles is EPSG 25832: ETRS89 / UTM Zone 32N (https://epsg.io/25832, last access: 6 February 2025).

Geochemistry, grain size and radiocarbon ages of MIS 3 sediment record from Nesseltalgraben, Germany

Continuous sediment profiles were taken from ravine slopes at the Nesseltalgraben site in the Northern Calcareous Alps (SE Germany, 47.6567°N 13.0467°E, 560-582 m a.s.l.) in October 2016. The profile consists of fine-grained lacustrine-palustrine sediments overlain by several metres of glacifluvial gravels and lodgement tills of the Last Glacial Maximum and underlain by a diamicton. High-resolution (2 mm steps) element counts (Ca, S, Si, K, Ti, Mn, Fe, Zn, Rb, Sr, Zr) were obtained with an XRF core scanner (Itrax, Cox Analytical Systems, Sweden). Organic geochemistry (total organic and inorganic carbon, total nitrogen, total sulphur) was analysed with an elemental analyser (Euro EA, Eurovector, Germany), grain size with a laser diffractometer (Beckman-Coulter LS 200). The sediment profiles were compiled to a composite record of 21 m length. The age model bases on 29 radiocarbon analyses of macroscopic terrestrial plant remains (byrophytes, plant debris, monocots, wood, and twigs) and a previously discovered paleomagnetic anomaly assigned to the Laschamp event. The age model covers the period 59 to 29.6 ka cal BP and assigns the record to Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3. The sediment record shows rapid changes in lithology, sedimentology, and geochemistry related to Dansgaard-Oeschger climatic events.

3D-CEBS-TTH: transient thermohydraulic model of the Central European Basin System (CEBS)

We provide a single file (exodus II format) that contains all results of the modeling efforts of the associated paper. This encompasses all structural information as well as the pore pressure, temperature, and fluid velocity distribution through time. We also supply all files necessary to rerun the simulation, resulting in the aforementioned output file. The model area covers a rectangular area around the Central European Basin System (Maystrenko et al., 2020). The data publication is compeiment to Frick et al., (2021). The file published here is based on the structural model after Maystrenko et al., (2020) which resolves 16 geological units. More details about the structure and how it was derived can be found in Maystrenko et al., (2020). The file presented contains information on the regional variation of the pore pressure, temperature and fluid velocity of the model area in 3D. This information is presented for 364 time steps starting from 43,000 years before present and ending at 310000 years after present. This model was created as part of the ESM project (Advanced Earth System Modelling Capacity; https://www.esm-project.net). This project looks at the development of a flexible framework for the effective coupling of Earth system model components. In this, we focused on the coupling between atmosphere and the subsurface by simulating the response of glacial loading, in terms of thermal and hydraulic forcing, on the hydrodynamics and thermics of the geological subsurface of Central Europe. For this endeavor, we populated the 3D structural model by Maystrenko and Coauthors (2020) with rock physical properties, applied a set of boundary conditions and simulated the transient 3D thermohydraulics of the subsurface. More details about this can be found in the accompanying paper (Frick et al., 2021)

Elemental composition from XRF core scan of sediment profile NTG16 from the northern Alps (Nesseltalgraben, Germany)

Glacial landforms around the boundary between the central and northern Black Forest, south-western Germany

The aim of data collection was the reconstruction of the chronology and extent of the Late Pleistocene glaciation around the boundary between the central and northern Black Forest. This research has been undertaken as part of the 'Chronology of the last glaciation of low mountainous areas in Central Europe' project (funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG)). This project is granted to Felix Martin Hofmann (see https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/534739108?language=en, last access: 13 June 2025). As a first step towards comprehensive glacier reconstruction, glacial geomorphological mapping according to present-day standard in the field of glacial geomorphology must be undertaken, allowing for the selection of suitable targets for dating campaigns. Previous cirque and moraine mapping led to valuable datasets but the adopted approach for the acquisition of data does not comply with up-to-date approaches in geomorphological mapping. Hence, a mapping campaign was undertaken to critically evaluate previous work on the region of interest to achieve the greatest possible accuracy during mapping. The acquired data represent the base of a manuscript which has been submitted to the Journal of Geomorphology for consideration for publication.

Drilling Overdeepened Alpine Valleys (DOVE) - Operational Dataset of DOVE Phase 1

The overarching goal of the Drilling Overdeepened Alpine Valleys (DOVE) project will be to date the age and extent of past glaciations. Formerly-glaciated areas are often characterized by deeply incised structures, often filled by Quaternary deposits. These buried troughs and valleys were formed by glacial overdeepening, likely caused by pressurized subglacial meltwater below warm-based glaciers. Results of this drilling campaign, supported by new dating technologies, will further provide critical data on 'how' and 'at which rate' glacial erosion affects such mountain ranges and their foreland. These processes are also of fundamental importance for evaluating the safety of radioactive waste disposal sites, which are planned in areas of former glaciations. Moreover, results of this project will fill gaps in the knowledge of paleoclimate and atmospheric circulation patterns during past glacial epochs and how these patterns affected ice build-up. The operational data sets include the drill core documentation from the mobile Drilling Information System (mDIS), full round core scans, MSCL data sets, a preliminary core description and the geophysical downhole logging data that were acquired during and subsequent to the drilling operations. All downhole logs and core depth were subject to depth correction to a common depth master (cf. operational report for detailed information). The data are described by two scientific reports, the Operational Report (https://doi.org/10.48440/ICDP.5068.001) and the Explanatory Remarks on the Operational Datasets (https://doi.org/10.48440/ICDP.5068.002).
