Silicate weathering is critical to global carbon cycle and climate change, and has attracted
considerable attention in Earth science studies. Chemical weathering intensity evaluation …

Despite the influence of other geological and geomorphological factors, chemical
weathering at the Earth's surface is strongly controlled by climate. Thus, a measure of …

Purpose This review of sediment source fingerprinting assesses the current state-of-the-art,
remaining challenges and emerging themes. It combines inputs from international scientists …

Weathering profiles developed on basalt substrate contain information relevant to climate,
atmospheric composition and evolution, nutrient release into the hydrosphere, and …

Zircons are abundant in the beach sediments. In this study, surface microtexture,
mineralogy, bulk sediment geochemistry, trace element composition and U–Pb isotopic …

Geochemical parameters obtained from the analysis of sediments and sedimentary rocks
are widely used to infer weathering and paleo-weathering conditions in source areas …

This study presents an integrated mineralogical–geochemical database on fine-grained
sediments transported by all major rivers of southern Africa, including the Zambezi …

In September 2016, the annual meeting of the International Union for Quaternary Research's
Loess and Pedostratigraphy Focus Group, traditionally referred to as a LoessFest, met in …

The substantial loess deposits of the middle and lower Danube basin in southeastern
Europe represent one of the thickest and most comprehensive terrestrial …

The Stari Slankamen loess-palaeosol section is located on the northeastern part of the Srem
Loess Plateau (Vojvodina region, North Serbia). The c. 40-m thick cliff comprises loess …
