Two upper levels (V and IV) correspond to valleys formed during the Odranian Glaciation-Saalian, MIS6 and its reccesional phases under the influence of proglacial and extraglacial waters beyond the extent (to the east) of the maximal ice-sheet limit of this glaciation, reaching to the present-day Leśnica-Gnieździska-Łopuszno line. Two lower levels (III and II) are terraces that were typically formed during the climatic conditions thatprevailed during Vistulian stadials. Sands and gravels of the three upper levels (V−III) contain numerous debris flow deposits and cryoturbation structures documenting periglacial conditions during their accumulation. The lowermost level (I) is a typical Holocene floodplain.}, type={Article}, title={Quaternary valley levels and river terraces in the western part of the Holy Cross Mountains}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/110290/PDF/3_Dzierzek_2.pdf}, doi={10.24425/sq.2019.126383}, keywords={Holy Cross Mountains, Quaternary, palaeogeography, valley sediments, fluvial forms}, }
