Proposition d'une classification plus précise pour les moraines et dépôts fluvioglaciaires pléistocènes du piémont alpin du nord de l'Autriche et de la vallée du Danube comprenant des stades glaciaires intermédiaires. (C. Gaulin).

Permafrost existed as early as the Early Pleistocene. An attempt has been made to calculate its thickness at the basis of computer technique in the Upper Pleniglacial. - (MS)
Ratios of D-alloisolencine to L-isolencine have been determined on freshwater molluscs from 13 interglacial sites in South East England and on marine molluscs and foraminifera from 10 Pleistocene and Upper Pliocene Crag sites in East Anglia. We can
distinguish the Ipswichian, then either one or two interglacials that may be younger than the classical Hoxnian, then the Pleistocene Crags, then the Pliocene Coralline Crag.

Based on a recently revised chronology the loess-paleosol sequences especially from F5 to F2 in the Carpathian Basin, southeast Central Europe and for comparison the section of Luochuan, Central China give a reliable climatic history for the upper
), documented from 8 stratigraphic levels at Tarija, vary significantly in the C 13 values of their teeth. These new isotopic data are used here to identify warm-cold paleoclimatic cycles during the middle Pleistocene and clarify the upper limit
Fossiliferous middle Pleistocene sediments of the Tarija basin of southern Bolivia contain a classic Ensenandan land-mammal fauna. New carbon isotopic data reported here for 5 specimens of the grazing mammals Equus (horse) and Cuvieronius (mastodon
The fluvial factor in the evolution of alpine valleys and of ice-marginal topography in Vorarlberg (W-Austria) during the UpperPleistocene and Holocene
This paper illustrates the significant role of fluvial processes through time, in a key sector of the northern Alps. Emphasis is put on the interaction between fluvial and glacial processes during the UpperPleistocene and on the related glacial
and postglacial development of valley systems. The morphology of mixed-type valleys is highly persistent, as it had developed before and was maintained during the UpperPleistocene. The topographic position of these valleys and their fills can be used
During the road construction work near the city of Pécs (South Hungary), many fossils were found in September 2008. New finds of bone and teeth remains of Mammoth Steppe fauna from UpperPleistocene fluvial sediments are reviewed. The complete Late
Pleistocene megafauna appears to be represented here. The study contains the detailed analysis of fossils found and gives a paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the Kozármisleny site. - (AM)

Investigations were carried out in the Don, Upper Oka, Middle Volga basins, the Ural Foreland, souther part of the West-Siberian plain and in Soviet Central Asia and Georgia. 15 Pleistocene stages are identified with the corresponding stratigraphic

Stratified UpperPleistocene sediment sequences have been geochemically investigated in the arid environment of the Wadi Sabra (Southern Jordan). A combined approach of CNS analysis, carbonate fractionation, electrical conductivity, and colour
