Reduction–oxidation (redox) reactions occur during burial because sediments contain
reactive mixtures of oxidised and reduced components. Diagenetic chemical reactions …

There are significant differences in the interpretation of the moisture (precipitation) history of
arid central Asia (ACA) during the Holocene, as inferred on one hand from speleothem …

Considerable attention has been paid to dating the earliest appearance of hominins outside
Africa. The earliest skeletal and artefactual evidence for the genus Homo in Asia currently …

In environmental magnetism, rock and mineral magnetic techniques are used to investigate
the formation, transportation, deposition, and postdepositional alterations of magnetic …

Abstract The “Day” diagram (Day et al., 1977, https://doi. org/10.1016/0031-9201 (77) 90108-
X) is used widely to make inferences about the domain state of magnetic mineral …

Loess deposits are recorders of aeolian activity during past glaciations. Since the size
distribution of loess deposits depends on distance to the dust source, and environmental …

Hematite is a canted antiferromagnet with reddish color that occurs widely on Earth and
Mars. Identification and quantification of hematite is conveniently achieved through its …

Changes in the sources, properties and fluxes of mineral aerosol ('dust') have significance
as both indicators and agents of climate change, through radiative, cloud condensation and …

Magnetic iron oxide minerals, principally magnetite, maghemite, hematite, and goethite are
formed in well-drained soils in response to a suite of physical, chemical, and biological …

Soil Magnetism: Applications in Pedology, Environmental Science and Agriculture provides
