Upper Pliocene and Lower Pleistocene stratigraphy in the Southern Bight of the North Sea in The Quaternary and Tertiary geology of the Southern Bight, North Sea.
The Upper Pliocene and Lower Pleistocene succession in the Southern Bight, between 52o and 53o N and 2o and 4o E, contains an upward transition from marine to deltaic and fluviatile sediments. The succession is clearly punctuated by unconformities
and regression in the Southern Bight area during the early Pleistocene.

Karstic landscape evolution of southern Apulia foreland during the Pleistocene
The Salento area is a narrow peninsula composed of Cretaceous and Neogenic carbonatic rocks constituting the southernmost part of the emerged Apulian foreland. A karstic landscape shaped on Upper Cretaceous - Lower Pleistocene rocks and covered
by Middle Pleistocene terrigenous sediments has been recognized. Presently, the Salento Peninsula landscape shows at its inner and western parts wide karstic surfaces, remnants of the middle Pleistocene sedimentary cover, and morphostructural ridges. - (NF)
This paper reports fossil tracks of large herbivores in upper-Pleistocene eolian sand-sheet deposits in central and southwestern Alaska. The association of tracks with subhorizontally stratified eolian-sand deposits further suggests that vegetated

Cave entrance and rock shelter infillings are positioned within the Pleistocene chronology for three areas of France (northern Alps, Franche-Comté, and Périgord). The sites contain evidence of Middle Paleolithic (Mousterian) and/or Upper Paleolithic

pedogenic period took place during the Upper Pliocene and part of the Lower Pleistocene.
The Bagaggera sequence was deposited during the entire Pleistocene. The four aggradational or degradational phases and the four weathering periods observed are due to complex interacting between climatic and tectonic activity. A very long previous
The glacial-interglacial amplitude (GIA) of oxygen-isotope curves in sediment cores from the Atlantic Ocean is much higher than the amplitude in the Pacific. This difference is explained by nonsynchronous CaCO dissolution cycles during the Upper
Pleistocene that amplify the GIA in the Atlantic and reduce the GIA in the Pacific. Efforts to assess palaeotemperatures in the Pleistocene using the stable isotope technique must consider the affects of dissolution.

Late Quaternary environmental changes in the upper Las Vegas Valley, Nevada
Five stratigraphic units and five soils of late Pleistocene to Holocene age crop out in dissected badlands near Las Vegas. The record is dominantly fluvial but contains evidence of several moisters marsh-forming periods.

There are 7 steps of terrace both in the Guide basin and Gonghe basin along the Yellow River. 3 ancient terraces are found in the Gonghe basin. The upper reaches of the Yellow River was joined up by a series of stream captures at different periods
of time, the ancient Yellow River linked up the Gonghe basin and Guide basin at the end of the middle Pleistocene, the Longyangxia gorge developed around 60 Ka.B.P., and the gorge between Maqu and Tangnag developed around 20 Ka.B.P.
The total thickness of the key section is cca 130 m. Loess and paleosols alternate in it. It is divided into the Late Pleistocene Malan loess, the Middle Pleistocene (upper and lower) Lishih loess and the Early Pleistocene Wucheng loess. Holocene
