Journal ArticleDOI
Provenance, transport and characteristics of modern aeolian dust in western Gansu Province, China, and interpretation of the Quaternary loess record
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative analysis of a 4-year set of monthly samples of airfall dust with samples from surface alluvial fan deposits, desert sand dunes and late Pleistocene loess and palaeosols in Gansu Province, northern China, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pedogenic modification of loess: significance for palaeoclimatic reconstructions
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of pedogenic processes in modifying wind-blown dust (loess), concentrating particularly on the ways that resulting properties may be interpreted as indicators of past climatic conditions and changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Xiaomin Fang,Xiaomin Fang,Ji-Jun Li,Rob Van der Voo,Conall Mac Niocaill,Xue-Rong Dai,Rob A. Kemp,Edward Derbyshire,Ji-Xiu Cao,Jian-Ming Wang,Guo Wang +10 more
TL;DR: A high-resolution record of the Blake Event has been obtained from a 40 m well dug in a loess section at Jiuzhoutai in the City of Lanzhou in the western Loess Plateau of China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isotopic constraints on the source of Argentinian loess – with implications for atmospheric circulation and the provenance of Antarctic dust during recent glacial maxima
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the source regions of Argentinian loess and the constraints that these put on palaeo-wind directions, and further investigated the source of Antarctic ice-core dust and to test the hypothesis that some of it could be derived from a region to the north of Patagonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sand-drift and Soil Formation Along an Exposed North Atlantic Coastline: 14,000 Years of Diverse Geomorphological, Climatic and Human Impacts
D.D. Gilbertson,D.D. Gilbertson,Jean-Luc Schwenninger,Jean-Luc Schwenninger,Rob A. Kemp,Rob A. Kemp,Edward J. Rhodes,Edward J. Rhodes +7 more
TL;DR: The history of aeolian deposition and soil formation over the last 14-15,000 calendar years along the exposed and gale-prone Atlantic coastlines of the Southern Isles of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland is described in this article.
