%0 Journal Article %T Erosional-denudational valleys and their significance for the reconstruction of the Late Glacial environmental conditions (The Drawsko Lakeland, NW Poland) %A Renata Paluszkiewicz %J Quaestiones Geographicae %D 2011 %I %R 10.2478/v10117-011-0028-7 %X The article presents the morphological-lithological development and operation of dry erosional-denudational valleys located on morainic uplands in the Drawsko Lakeland. A detailed research was carried out on the morainic upland of the Bu larka and Piaski Pomorskie area. A geodetic study made it possible to identify over ten NW-SE and N-S oriented erosional-denudational valleys, clearly marked in the relief. They are small landforms: their length does not exceed 100 m, and the depth of incision reaches 4 m. Their exact morphometric description with the help of GIS methods and a detailed study of lithofacies characteristics of their deposits provided an insight into their operation. They follow a Late Glacial pattern in which Late Vistulian erosion only rejuvenated the already existing older forms. %K erosional-denudational valleys %K upland scarps %K morphometric features %K Drawsko Lakeland %K West Pomerania %U http://versita.metapress.com/content/k741777g464l4218/?p=4eaba75e06ef40ddb6c848aba9c6c34a&pi=6
