Notes: [Auszug] The selected site is in a disused brick pit (now used as the town's rubbish tip) at Saint Romain on the plateau of the Pays de Caux, about 20km east of Le Havre. It is typical of the Normandy loess sites and a reference section for the "limons doublets'. The section totals 15 m but we are ...

Notes: Abstract During the last thirthy years, many studies about loess and periglacial deposits have allowed to present a correlation table from the Netherlands and Belgium to north-west France. For the Quaternary, 11 main interglacial soils were recognized, separated during Early Pleistocene by combe-rock and solifluction deposits, and during Middle and Late Pleistocene by loess cycles. Two main loess basins exist in France. The most important is the Northern basin, continuing the sandy area of Belgium (cover sand) and the desert pavement of the Netherlands. The second is developed in Normandy and results from the Channel “landscape” open during pleniglacial periods. We have now stratigraphic tables at different time-scales. The main research axes must be now to attain a better knowledge about sources of loess materials, to estimate the volume of loess and its climatic significance and landscape variation during the pleniglacial events. Absolute datings of Middle Pleistocene stratigraphic details are needed to evaluate the differences between the different climatic cycles.
