Asian monsoon oscillations in the northeastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau since the late glacial as interpreted from visible reflectance of Qinghai Lake sediments

TL;DR: This article used reflectance spectroscopy to characterize the sediments in a 795-cm long core taken from the southeastern part of the lake and found that redness increases at times of increased precipitation, that is, as monsoon strength increases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zr/Rb ratio in the Chinese loess sequences and its implication for changes in the East Asian winter monsoon strength

TL;DR: This article proposed a new and reliable geochemical climate proxy that records the variability of the East Asian winter monsoon on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) and selected six loess-paleosol sections on the Plateau for measuring concentrations of the trace elements Zr and Rb as well as grain size.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid and quantitative measurement of hematite and goethite in the chinese loess-paleosol sequence by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, a technique to obtain quantitative estimates of the concentration of hematite and goethite in loess and paleosol samples is reported using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variations in chemical compositions of the eolian dust in Chinese Loess Plateau over the past 2.5 Ma and chemical weathering in the Asian inland

TL;DR: In this article, the acid-insoluble (AI) phase of the loess-paleosol sequence from Luochuan, Shaanxi Province, China was analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperature dependence of basalt weathering

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the rate of CO 2 consumption associated with the weathering of basaltic rocks is strongly correlated with mean annual temperature as predicted by chemical kinetics.
