Short abstract
This thesis establishes a continuous stratigraphic connection between the eastern delta plain and the Rhône prodelta for the period of the Little Ice Age. It combines high-resolution sedimentological, geochemical, and geophysical data to quantify morpho-sedimentary dynamics and deposited volumes in the context of Little Ice Age hydroclimatic forcing.
