Conventional 3D and high resolution 2D seismic data from the Danish Central Graben have been used for mapping several generations of buried valley systems. The oldest valley system is interpreted to have formed sub-glacially during the Saalian ice cover, while the youngest system is suggested to represent the proglacial to fluvial transition phase after the Weichselian ice retreated and prior to the Holocene marine transgression. The mapped valley systems highlights the Saalian and Late Weichselian to Early Holocene development of the Central North Sea and may be linked to Paleo-Elbe Valley further east.
