Journal: Geological Quarterly
Year: 2023

The loess-palaeosol sequences of Ukraine and Moldova contain one of the longest and most complete terrestrial records of Pleistocene climate change in Europe. Magnetostratigraphic studies provide a first-order chronological framework for loess sequences.

In this review, we summarize historical stages of the magnetostratigraphic studies i
