Constraining the controls on the distribution of sediment at a continental scale is a critical
step in understanding long-term landscape and climate evolution. In particular …

Magnetic fabric (MF) investigations complemented by geochemical and grain surface
analyses of the understudied and controversial marine isotope stage (MIS) 5 b, 4 and 3 …

Central Asia is positioned at a crossroads linking several zones important to hominin
dispersal during the Middle Pleistocene. However, the scarcity of stratified and dated …

Abstract The normally-closed Caspian Sea is known for large changes in relative sea-level
(of∼ 170 m) during the late Quaternary. These transgressive/regressive events influenced …

Loess-paleosol sequences (LPSs) are one of the main components of the natural
environment, which traces how the climate has changed in the past. The article discusses …

We present a detailed luminescence chronology of the loess-palaeosol sequences in the
Lower Volga region of Russia at the Leninsk site–an important palaeogeographic archive …

The Caspian region provides the basis of the stratigraphy and palaeogeography of the
Pleistocene of Central Eurasia, and has been actively studied for more than 200 years …

A series of synoptically forced dust events, including an extreme salt storm from the Aralkum
desert, stuck large parts of Central Asia during early summer 2018, causing flight …

This paper provides a review of the dates used to define major hydrologic changes in the
Caspian Sea during the Late Pleistocene that includes the Early Khvalynian and Hyrcanian …

Loess sequences are widely distributed in semi-arid regions around the world, and are
sometimes also located in coastal zones. The accumulations of coastal loess provide a …
