The generalized sequence of the Vils River floodplain is built of five units representing facies of different genesis (rock/saprolite, gravel, sand, loam, peat) that are identified by physical, chemical, and mineralogical parameters (grain size, clast shape, and content, TOC, bulk mineralogy). Along the 87 km length of the valley, different units/facies are found at the Upper Vils River (UVR 1-5) and at the Lower Vils River (LVR 1-4b). In both river sections, fine-grained material (flood loam) forms the major part (up to 4 m) of the alluvial sequence. 29 age determinations (24 14C, 4 IRSL, 1 tree-ring analysis) show increasing accumulation of flood loam in the last millennium. The data correlate with the beginning of mining at the Vils River and hence suggest a causal connection with mining activities in the catchment—both on the slopes and in the floodplain—with intense deposition of flood loams.}, language = {en} } @misc{HuerkampRaabVoelkel, author = {H{\"u}rkamp, Kerstin and Raab, Thomas and V{\"o}lkel, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Two and three-dimensional quantification of lead contamination in alluvial soils of a historic mining area using field portable X-ray fluorescence (FPXRF) analysis}, series = {Geomorphology}, volume = {110}, journal = {Geomorphology}, number = {1-2}, doi = {10.1016/j.geomorph.2008.12.021}, pages = {28 -- 36}, language = {en} } @misc{HuerkampRaabVoelkel, author = {H{\"u}rkamp, Kerstin and Raab, Thomas and V{\"o}lkel, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Lead Pollution of Floodplain Soils in a Historic Mining Area - Age, Distribution and Binding Forms}, series = {Water Air Soil Pollution}, volume = {201}, journal = {Water Air Soil Pollution}, number = {1-4}, issn = {1573-2932}, doi = {10.1007/s11270-008-9948-9}, pages = {331 -- 345}, language = {en} }
