Members of the Paleopedology Commission organized two sessions at the INQUA Congress in Bern. One was a full-day paleopedological session, comprising three oral blocks and a poster session. It included two excellent invited talks and a number of interesting presentations of research from almost all over the world. The other session was an interdisciplinary session that aimed to bring together scientists working on paleo-reconstructions for the same time (MIS 5 to present) based on different archives (paleo-lakes, speleothems, paleosols, sediments). As mentioned earlier, it is one of the major wishes of the commission chairs and several active Commission members to enhance contacts and collaboration between paleopedologists and other researchers working on different archives, because we feel that there is still significant potential in improving paleo-environmental reconstructions by closer interdisciplinary collaboration. Therefore, we were happy to see that a number of colleagues were attracted by this idea so that two interesting oral blocks and a poster session could be held.
