Improved dating methods have increased our ability to more precisely determine the timing and durations of glaciations.Utilizing glacial and loess deposits,we have compared glaciations that occurred i
To investigate the climate variability in Asia during the last millennium,the spatial and temporal evolution of summer(June–July– August;JJA) temperature in eastern and south-central Asia is reconstru
The MGS5 segment of the Milanggouwan stratigraphical section in the Salawusu River Valley,southeast of Chinas Mu Us Desert,records 8.5 sedimentary cycles consisting of aeolian,fluvial and lacustrine f
Loess is widely distributed in China,and has been one of the three props for paleoenvrionment research.However,the research on loess deposition outside the loess plateau especially in northeastern Chi
East Asian monsoon(EAM) variability has been investigated intensively using the grain size proxies and elemental ratios generated from Chinese Loess-paleosol sequences.
Eolian loess covered on the piedmont regions of the West Kunlun and alluvial fan around the southern margin of the Tarim Basin has long been recognized.Geochronology studies suggest that the age of th
A dramatic expansion of C4 plant distribution occurredin the South Asia during the late Mioceneand in the East Asia during the Pliocene period,with broad spatial and temporal variations.
A high-resolution black carbon(BC) record from 27.5 kyr BP to present was reconstructed using a chemical oxidation method on loess and paleosol samples from the Lijiayuan section of the Chinese Loess
The loess-paleosol sequences in Shandong Province,East China,is an important aeolian archive,which can provide information for aeolian activity,palaeoclimatic change and sea level change in eastern co
