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

After a previous review of the grain-size characteristics of in situ (primary) fine-grained
aeolian deposits, reworked (secondary) aeolian deposits, as modified in lacustrine …

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 …

Sub-orbital-scale variations of the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) and its mechanisms
during the Holocene are controversial, partly due to the lack of high-quality records from …

Background Because of global climate change, extreme flood events are expected to
increase in quantity and intensity in the upcoming decades. In catchments affected by ore …

In the last hundred years, analyses of grain size have been widely performed, and
numerous powerful tools have been published. The unmixing of grain size distributions is a …

Understanding the past dynamics of large-scale atmospheric systems is crucial for our
knowledge of the palaeoclimate conditions in Europe. Southeastern Europe currently lies at …

Abstract In the Carpathian Basin, loess is the most important archive of Quaternary
palaeoclimate evolution, but only in the past two decades systematic and high-resolution …

Centennial-scale mineral dust peaks in last glacial Greenland ice cores match the timing of
lowest Greenland temperatures, yet little is known of equivalent changes in dust-emitting …

Phytoliths are essential palaeoecological proxies that play an immensely important role in
palaeoclimatic studies. Their inert composition and general hardiness allow phytoliths to be …
