Abstract

This paper briefly discusses the concept of nivation as used in modern periglacial research and presents a detailed investigation of nivation forms and sediments from western Jutland in Denmark. On a part of the Saalian glacial landscape on Skovbjerg bakkeø, nivation forms are numerous. Nivation niches, V‐shaped dry valleys and associated alluvial cones consisting of accumulated nival sediments are seen as coherent and genetically linked landforms. The influence of nivation on the Weichselian periglacial transformation of the Saalian glacial landscape is demonstrated and it is further shown how nivation forms are acting as Holocene sedimentary sinks.
