Aeolian processes and their role in desertification have been studied extensively at low
elevations but have been rarely studied at high elevations in areas such as the Tibetan …

Aeolian sediments are an important archive for palaeoclimate reconstructions on the Tibetan
Plateau. The accumulation of aeolian sediments and the formation of palaeosols are used …

Deciphering significant sedimentological processes from a set of sediment samples is an
important step in reconstructing environmental changes. One approach going beyond …

Grain-size distributions offer powerful proxies of past environmental conditions that are
related to sediment sorting processes. However, they are often of multimodal character …

A set of lake surface sediment samples and aquatic macrophytes from the eastern and
central Tibetan Plateau and a sediment core from Koucha Lake (northeastern Tibetan …

The influence of different sample pretreatment methods on grain size distributions in particle
size analysis has been subject to controversial discussions. Standard sample preparation …

Pollen records from large lakes have been used for quantitative palaeoclimate
reconstruction, but the influences that lake size (as a result of species-specific variations in …

Radiocarbon dating of lake sediments is often hampered by the presence of a lake reservoir
effect (LRE, also 'dead carbon'or 'old carbon'effect) especially in dry and cold regions with a …

Quantitative information regarding the long‐term variability of precipitation and vegetation
during the period covering both the Late Glacial and the Holocene on the Qinghai‐Tibetan …

Aeolian sediments on the Tibetan Plateau are an important archive of palaeoclimatic
information. This study presents a detailed analysis of sediments from the Donggi Cona …
