The 'westerlies-dominated climatic regime'(WDCR) in the present interglacial period was
proposed because precipitation/moisture variations between arid central Asia and mid …

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 …

Mongolia is an expansive land-locked country, tilted by tectonic forces to the North, that
experiences extremes of continental climate. Moisture-carrying wind currents are scarce so …

This study presents the results of the palynological and diatom analyses of the sediment
core recovered in Hoton-Nur Lake (48° 37′ 18 ″N, 88° 20′ 45 ″E, 2083m) in 2004 …

Sedimentological, geochemical and palynological data from Wulungu Lake in northern
**njiang, China, are used to reconstruct environmental and climate changes since 9550 cal …

Fossil pollen data supplemented by tree macrofossil records were used to reconstruct the
vegetation of the Former Soviet Union and Mongolia at 6000 years. Pollen spectra were …

A set of 55 recent pollen spectra from the Alashan Plateau and the Qilian Mountains
(Qilianshan), northwestern China has been analyzed. The established relationships …

The effective humidity, resulting from the balance between evapotranspiration and
precipitation, largely controls the environmental conditions under the highly continental …

Endorheic basins (ie, land-locked drainage networks) and their lakes can be highly sensitive
to variations in climate and adverse anthropogenic activities, such as overexploitation of …

The Late Pleistocene and Holocene hydrologic balance of Chaka Salt Lake in the eastern
