International audiencehe Land Use and Cover Area frame Statistical survey (LUCAS) database on topsoil properties inEurope was used to map aeolian deposits. The points which satisfy the grain-size criteria of coversands, loess andtransitional facies were extracted from the rasters of predicted soil texture established by kriging of the LUCAS databy Ballabio et al. (2016). A comparison with already available maps, derived from a conventional ﬁeld approach,shows a good ﬁt in most of the tested areas. The new map, however, suggests a greater extension of loess, whichseems related to the inclusion of thin loess covers, usually omitted by conventional mapping, and the presence ofpreviously unmapped areas due to lack of survey or misinterpretation. The main source of aeolian particlescorresponds to glacio-ﬂuvial sediments at the margin of the Scandinavian and Alpine ice sheets. Coversands andloess form a broad band across northern Europe, and in the Rh^one, Rhine and Danube valleys. Large areas on theoutskirts of these deposits also received a signiﬁcant loess contribution, which has been reworked in slope deposits.Conversely, southern Europe is characterized by much less loess accumulation. The Atlantic coast has transgressivedune ﬁelds that penetrate inland to varying degre

Pedofeatures associated with ancient cold climatic conditions have been recognized in soils on terraces in the Monegros area (central Ebro Basin, Spain), at a latitude of 41°49′N and an altitude of 300 m a.s.l. Eleven soil profiles were described on fluvial deposits corresponding to the most extensive terrace (T5) of the Alcanadre River, Middle Pleistocene in age (MIS8–MIS7). Each soil horizon was sampled for physical, chemical, mineralogical and micromorphological analyses. Macromorphological features related to pedocryogenic processes were described: involutions, jacked stones, shattered stones, detached and vertically oriented carbonatic pendents, fragmented carbonatic crusts, laminar microstructures, succitic fabric, silt cappings on rock fragments and aggregates, and irregular, broken, discontinuous and deformed gravel and sandy pockets. Accumulations of Fe–Mn oxides, dissolution features on the surface of carbonatic stones, and calcitic accumulations were identified related to vadose–phreatic conditions. The observed periglacial features developed under cold environmental conditions in exceptional geomorphic and hydrological conditions. This soil information may have potential implications in studies of paleoclimate in the Ebro Valley as well as in other Mediterranean areas.
