Loess formation generally involves the four main stages of production, deflation,
transportation, and deposition of loess particles. Traditionally, loesses are classified as …

The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and
ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols. This paper presents an …

Marine accumulations of terrigenous sediment are widely assumed to accurately record
climatic-and tectonic-controlled mountain denudation and play an important role in …

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 …

The formation and evolution of the landscape of the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is
debated because of uncertainties regarding dust provenance. We present a quantitative …

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 …

The collapse potential, mineralogy, microstructure, and particle morphology of a loess from
the Loess Plateau, China, were characterized by double oedometer testing, X-ray diffraction …

Dust storms, produced by the removal of surface materials from the world's drylands, are a
vital component of the environment. This is because of their role in biogeochemical cycling …

Landform classification is one of the most important aspects in geomorphological research,
dividing the Earth's surface into diverse geomorphological types. Thus, an accurate …

The global climate system experienced a series of drastic changes during the Cenozoic. In
Asia, these include the climate transformation from a zonal pattern to a monsoon-dominated …
