Recent studies show that high-technology rare earth elements (REEs) of anthropogenic
origin occur in the environment including in aquatic systems, suggesting REEs are …

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 Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is a leading cause of land-ice mass loss and
cryosphere-attributed sea level rise. Blooms of pigmented glacier ice algae lower ice albedo …

The source-to-sink fluctuations of Asian aeolian deposits have been investigated over the
past two decades using multiple mineralogical and geochemical tracers. These source …

The concentrations of the rare earth elements (REE) in surface waters and sediments, when
normalized on an element-by-element basis to one of several rock standards and plotted …

Identifying provenance of aeolian deposits in the mid-latitude deserts of Asia is essential for
understanding formation and changes of Earth surface processes due to palaeoclimatic …

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 …

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 …

Study of windborne sediments in the Taklimakan Desert is of great significance in the
context of global change. Much effort has gone into characterizing the Taklimakan dune …

The deserts in north China are regarded as direct records of the process of inland Asian
aridification. Amongst these deserts, those proximal to the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) are …
