目前,英国、法国、意大利和中国的地球科学工作者正在合作一项国际研究项目,包括西欧黄土及类黄土沉积物的沉积学、地层学、气候学、环境史、土工学特性的研究。1980年首先开展了这项工作,1984年由 E.Derbyshire 与中国科学院合作在中国中部黄土高原进行了工作,初步工作在西欧的野外和实验室进行。流行的观点是,中国大量黄土属于沙漠和风成成因,如甘肃省兰州的黄土厚度超过320米。相反,西欧的黄土厚度很少超过10米,它的沉积与更新世时期的附近冰原增长和退缩密切相关。
Currently, geoscientists in the UK, France, Italy and China are collaborating on an international research project that includes sedimentology, stratigraphy, climatology, environmental history and geotechnical properties of loess and loess sediments in Western Europe. This work was first carried out in 1980. In 1984, E. Derbyshire and the Chinese Academy of Sciences worked on the Loess Plateau in central China. Preliminary work was carried out in the wilderness and laboratories in Western Europe. The prevailing view is that a large number of loess in China belong to the desert and aeolian causes, such as loess in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, the thickness of more than 320 meters. On the contrary, loess thickness in Western Europe rarely exceeds 10 meters and its sedimentation is closely related to the growth and withdrawal of the nearby ice sheets near the Pleistocene.
