Introduction.

Problems, progress and future research concerning
palaeoweatherings and palaeosurfaces.

Geochemistry and isotopes.

Weathering, rainwater, and atmosphere chemistry: example and
modelling of granite weathering, in present conditions, in a
CO2-rich, and in an anoxic palaeoatmosphere.

Stable carbon isotopes in palaeosol carbonates.

Palaeoenvironment, palaeoclimate and stable carbon isotopes of
Palaezoic red bed palaeosols, Appalachian Basin, USA and
Canada.

Peculiar palaeoweathering types.

Diversity of the continental silicifications: Examples from the
Cainozoic deposits in the Paris Basin and neighbouring
basement.

Authigenic clay minerals in continental evaporitic
environments.

Saprolite-bauxite facies of ferralitic duricrusts on
palaeosurfaces of former Pangea.

Karst bauxites: interfingering of deposition and
palaeoweathering.

Precambrian palaeosols: a view from the Canadian shield.

Regional palaeosurface and palaseoweathering
reconstructions.

Palaeolandscape reconstruction of the Southwestern Massif
Central (France).

Lateritization, geomorphology, and geodynamics of a passive
continental margin: The Konkan and Kanara coastal lowlands of
western peninsular India.

Relief features and palaeoweathering remnants in formerly
glaciated Scandinavian basement areas.

Palaeosol sequences in floodplain environments: a hierarchical
approach.

Carbonate-rich palaesols in the upper Cretaceous/Lower Palaegene
series of the Provence basin (France).

Sedimentary infillings and development of major Tertiary
palaeodrainages of south-central Australia.

mineral deposits in NE-Africa.
