DOI: 10.1016/j.aeolia.2018.08.002
Abstract: Abstract Loess deposits are thick and widespread along the piedmonts of Arid Central Asia (ACA), however the source (provenance) and processes of formation of these fine-grained aeolian deposits are poorly understood. Here we investigate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gloplacha.2021.103580
Abstract: Abstract The extensive loess deposits in southern China (‘Xiashu’ loess) are a valuable paleoclimatic archive in the subtropical monsoon region. We carried out a combined study of iron oxide mineralogy, pedostratigraphy, and magnetostratigraphy of three… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.revpalbo.2017.01.002
Abstract: Abstract Pollen analysis in loess sediment has long been used to reconstruct Quaternary environmental change. However, caution should be taken as the reconstructed paleovegetation may be biased if pollen preservation is ignored. This paper investigates… read more here.
