Paleoenvironmental reconstructions on a (supra-) regional scale have gained attention in
Quaternary sciences during the last decades. In terrestrial realms, loess deposits and …

Whether during past climate stages or into a progressively warming world, changes in
precipitation constitute a key component of climatic change. Quantitative proxies for palaeo …

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 …

We synthesize palaeoclimate records from the mid-latitude arid Asian region dominated
today by the Westerlies (“arid central Asia”(ACA)) to evaluate spatial and temporal patterns …

The numerical meta-analysis of 92 proxy records (72 sites) of moisture and/or temperature
change confirms earlier findings that the dominant trends of climatic evolution in monsoonal …

Recent studies of the eolian deposits in northern China have extended the East Asian
monsoon history back to the early Miocene. However, the relative intensities of monsoonal …

There is a great deal of controversy regarding the fate of glaciers and ice fields on the
Tibetan Plateau in the face of continued anthropogenic global warming. Paleoclimate …

Abstract Climate change over High Mountain Asia (HMA, including the Tibetan Plateau) is
investigated over the period 1979–2014 and in future projections following the four Shared …

This paper reports the results of an investigation of the Weichselian Upper Pleniglacial loess
sequences of Nussloch (Rhine Valley, Germany) based on stratigraphy, palaeopedology …

The loess and paleosol sequences of the Chinese Loess Plateau are composed of
Quaternary dust, the origin of which has been the subject of considerable debate. Some …
