Dust storms originate in many of the world's drylands and frequently present hazards to
human society, both within the drylands themselves but also outside drylands due to long …

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 …

Palearctic water frogs (genus Pelophylax) are an outstanding model in ecology and
evolution, being widespread, speciose, either threatened or threatening to other species …

Abstract The International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) utilises benchmark

The loess and paleosol sequences of the Chinese Loess Plateau are composed of
Quaternary dust, the origin of which has been the subject of considerable debate. Some …

Abrupt and large‐scale climate changes have occurred repeatedly and within decades
during the last glaciation. These events, where dramatic warming occurs over decades, are …

Abstract The Tigris and Euphrates basin (TEB) has long been one of the active dust sources
in the Middle East. In the last four decades, inefficient water resources management has …

Quantifying variability in, and identifying the mechanisms behind, East Asian dust production
and transport across the last several million years is essential for constraining future dust …

Large-scale afforestation has been widely implemented for restoring the degraded lands
and mitigating climate change while naturally regenerated forests should be protected to …

The provenance of voluminous eolian dust on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is still
highly debated. Here we apply machine learning methods of support vector machine and …
