- Abstract
- Abstract Loess proportions in slope deposits have rarely been quantified, due to the lack of quantification methods. In this study, we used laser granulometry to analyze grain‐size distributions in slope deposits of a Buntsandstein landscape in central Germany. The consistent loess contents obtained from two independent models corroborate the validity of the calculated loess proportions and the applicability of the new R package EMMAgeo. Yet, some limitations in transferability need to be considered.
