Abstract
Christiansen, Hanne Hvidtfeldt: Late Weichselian Periglacial Landforms in the Bjergsted area, north-western Zealand. Denmark. Geografisk Tidsskrift 93:39–48. Copenhagen 1993.
Detailed geomorphological investigations in the central part of the Bjergsted landsystem have revealed the existence of different Late Weichselian periglacial landelements.
A large alluvial cone, named the Bjergsted cone, with ice-wedge casts and sediment-structures indicating dead-ice melting has been investigated. Different methods, such as thermoluminescence (TL) dating and geographical information system (GIS) analysis, have been used in order to date and trace the source area of the sediment in the Bjergsted cone. Several dry valleys and niches caused by nivation as well as windpolished boulders have also been found in the Bjergsted area.
