Dust transport by the wind is not a uniform process but may occur in different modes
according to source area conditions and transport height and distance. Subsequently, these …

Africa is the most important source of dust in the world today and dust storms from that
continent frequently deposit sediment on the nearby Canary Islands. Many investigators …

The Canaries have recently served as a test‐bed island system for evaluating newly
developed parametric biogeographical methods that can incorporate information from …

Soil surveys document thin but discontinuous loess deposits across large tracts of
Michigan's western Upper Peninsula (UP), which we informally call the Peshekee loess. Our …

The purpose of this research was to characterize and interpret the coarse basal zones that
are common in thin loess deposits that overlie coarser-textured sediment. To that end, we …

The significance of Saharan dust deposits for ecosystems has been demonstrated in several
studies, showing its influence on pedogenesis and soil chemical and physical parameters …

Carbonate aeolianites are important Quaternary archives at the point of intersection
between marine and terrestrial systems. Since they are composed of alternating aeolian …

The appearances of palaeosurfaces intercalated into palaeo-dune fields on Fuerteventura
are multifaceted. Although reddened layers in these dune sediments might suggest that …

The Jandia Isthmus (Fuerteventura, Canary Islands) is a complex aeolian system composed
of Pliocene and Pleistocene marine deposits, which are partially covered of carbonate …

This article reviews optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating as used on Quaternary
sediments and for archaeological dating. The underlying physics is summarized and the …
