TL;DR: In this article, the authors used magnetic low field susceptibility to reconstruct the cyclic changes of Pleistocene palaeoclimates, although the origin of the signal is still poorly understood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative estimates of palaeoprecipitation at Xifeng, in the Loess Plateau of China
TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetisation and relative contribution of the superparamagnetic (SP), single-domain (SD) and multidomain (MD) ferrimagnetic components in the Xifeng loess section were determined for samples taken from the topmost palaeosol (S0), at six sites over the Loess Plateau, and directly correlated with present day precipitation at these sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic mineralogy of Chinese loess and its significance
TL;DR: In this article, the topmost 16 meters of the central Chinese loess plateau, which cover the last 128000 years, consist of two palaeosol beds interlayered by a loess horizon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation of the magnetic susceptibility stratigraphy of Chinese loess and the marine oxygen isotope record: chronological and palaeoclimatic implications
TL;DR: In this paper, a new magnetic susceptibility time series for the central Chinese Loess Plateau was generated, which was used to generate a useful age model for loess accumulation, showing that a significant improvement in the strength of the loess magnetic susceptibility-marine oxygen isotope correlation occurs after about 1.5 My BP, which corresponds to a significant increase in the rate of sediment accumulation across the Loess plateau.
