Study of geologic records of dust composition, sources and deposition rates is important for
understanding the role of dust in the overall planetary radiation balance, fertilization of …

This paper promotes an understanding of the mineralogical, chemical, and physical
interrelationships of re-suspended mineral dusts collected as grab samples from global dust …

In this paper we explore the evidence for Holocene Rapid Climate Changes (RCCs) in
Western Mediterranean records, examining similarities and differences in the timing and …

Lower to middle Weichselian loess, loess derivatives and buried soils of the loess-paleosol
sequence Alsheim (Central Europe) were characterised by particle size distribution …

This work, aside from being a classical discussion on the processes of rubefaction and
illuviation, is an attempt to cross the abundant literature on red Mediterranean soils (RMSs) …

Africa is the most important source of dust in the world today, and dust storms are frequent
on the nearby Canary Islands. Previous workers have inferred that the Sahara is the most …

Abstract Loess areas in Central Europe have been settled since ancient times and are
therefore predestined to archive information about both the paleoenvironment with and …

Abstract The Sr-Nd isotopic study of the Northeast Sandy Land (NESL), China is of great
significance for a thorough understanding of the dust system in this area. The 162 bulk (< 63 …

Loess is aeolian silt visible in the field as a sedimentary body. It covers a significant portion
of the land surface of the Earth. Loess thickness, particle size, and carbonate content …

Loess is aeolian sediment, dominated by silt-sized particles, that is identifiable in the field as
a distinct sedimentary body. It covers a significant portion of the land surface of the Earth and …
