Paleoenvironmental reconstructions on a (supra-) regional scale have gained attention in
Quaternary sciences during the last decades. In terrestrial realms, loess deposits and …

Loess formation generally involves the four main stages of production, deflation,
transportation, and deposition of loess particles. Traditionally, loesses are classified as …

Dust transport by the wind is not a uniform process but may occur in different modes
according to source area conditions and transport height and distance. Subsequently, these …

Abstract The Danube River drainage basin is the second largest river catchment in Europe
and contains a significant and extensive region of thick loess deposits that preserve a record …

Applying geochemical proxies as measure for the weathering intensity of paleosols and
sediments such as loess, the Quaternary scientist is confronted with various element ratios …

Arid and semi arid northern China holds some of the world's most significant sand sea and
loess deposits. In particular, arguably the most important late Cenozoic wind-blown dust …

Study of geologic records of dust composition, sources and deposition rates is important for
understanding the role of dust in the overall planetary radiation balance, fertilization of …

Loess sequences of the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) compose one of the most complete
Neogene–Quaternary terrestrial paleoclimatic archives. Understanding the CLP's sediment …

Loess in the Carpathian Basin is some of the thickest and most complete in Europe. Located
in the Vojvodina region of the southern Carpathian Basin the Crvenka loess-palaeosol …

In September 2016, the annual meeting of the International Union for Quaternary Research's
