Sediment budget of pliocene and Quaternary unconsolidated deposits of the Rheingletscher area, Swiss midlands and the Upper Rhein Graben

这一拟议研究项目的目的是结合两位申请人过去在调查阿尔卑斯山前滨和莱茵拉本松散沉积物方面所采取的不同方法。一种方法(Ellwanger)旨在计算出在所有相关的五个陆地系统中有效的组合地层学，即内高山过度加深的山谷、高山前陆S.S.这不仅包括博登塞圆形剧场的冰川盆地和冰原景观(Bodensee圆形剧场等)，霍赫莱因山谷(有许多露台和埋藏的山谷)和莱茵拉本作为“远端调节空间”，而且还包括“多瑙河外滩”，在那里发现了(融水)露台的“经典”景观。这是一种层序和事件地层学方法(参见所附“Arbeitspapier”--讨论文件)。另一种方法(Hinder)涉及阿尔卑斯山的各种沉积障碍，但主要是对内高山莱茵冰川和博登塞冰川盆地的冰后期和冰后充填进行详细的案例研究。进一步的研究涉及瑞士阿尔卑斯山前陆的气候、隆起和剥蚀的相互作用。拟议项目的目的是维持几个堆积旋回(冰川旋回)的稳定，由此不仅应导致对地层方案的独立和控制，而且还应进一步深入了解气候和构造之间的相互作用，甚至是关于远距离堆积。

It is the purpose of this proposed research project to combine different approaches which the two applicants persued in the past with regard to the investigation of the unconsolidated Sediments of the alpine forelands and the Rheingraben. One approach (Ellwanger) aimed at working out a combined stratigraphy valid in all five landsystems concerned, i.e. the inneralpine overdeepened valleys, the alpine foreland s.s. (glacial basins and moraine landscape of the Bodensee amphitheater etc.), the Hochrhein valley (with numerous terraces and buried valleys) and the Rheingraben as a "distal accomodation space", but also including the "overbank to the Donau" where the "classical" landscape of (meltwater) terraces is found. This is a kind of a sequence- and event stratigraphic approach (cf. attached "Arbeitspapier" -- discussion paper). The other approach (Hinderer) is concerned with various sediment bilances in the Alps, but mainly a detailed case study of the late glacial and postglacial infill of the inneralpine Rhein and Bodensee glacial basin. Further studies concern the interaction of climate, uplift and denudation in the Swiss alpine foreland. It is the purpose of the proposed project, to bilance several accumulation cycles (glacial cycles), from which not only independand control of the stratigraphic scheme should result, but also further insight into interaction between climate and tectonic even regarding distal accumulation.
