Abstract
Stratigraphic units representing high-sea-level events in Britain, northern France, Belgium, The Netherlands, northwest Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, are correlated by aminostratigraphy (
D
(alloisoleucine)/
L
(isoleucine) (ratios from
Littorina littorea, Macoma balthic, Macoma calcarea
and
Arctica islandica
). The eight sealevel events recognized are modelled with the constraints provided by the oxygenisotope signal of sea-level variability, and available geochronometric age determinations for calibrating the
D/L
data. These data are used to constrain the timing and extent of glaciations in the British Isles and Scandinavia during the Middle and Late Pleistocene.
