Abstract
A landslide dammed the upper Doubs valley around 12 ka BP forming a la ke that has now been filled to 9/10 of its original volume. Sediments from the enclosing basin reveal three phases: - 12 to 9 ka BP, exclusi vely detrital material from mechanical erosion; - 9 to 6 ka BP, materi al dominated by elements in solution, from chemical erosion; - 6 ka BP to present day, a moderate upturn in detrital sedimentation.
