Records of past climate variability and associated vegetation response exist in various
regions throughout Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). To date, there has been no coherent …

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 …

Centennial-scale mineral dust peaks in last glacial Greenland ice cores match the timing of
lowest Greenland temperatures, yet little is known of equivalent changes in dust-emitting …

This article establishes a linkage between the mineral dust cycle and loess deposits during
the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in Europe. To this aim, we simulate the LGM dust cycle at …

Abstract Knowledge of the interactions among atmospheric dynamics, dust emissions and
climate system is essential to understand the physical mechanisms for the dust lifecycle …

Greenland ice cores are high-resolution archives of atmospheric dust loadings, and a better
understanding of the driving factors for Greenland ice core dust concentration changes …

Since their discovery, the abrupt climate changes that punctuated the last glacial period (∼
110.6–14.62 ka) have attracted considerable attention. Originating in the North-Atlantic area …

Extratropical cyclones are a dominant feature of the midlatitudes, as their passage is
associated with strong winds, precipitation and temperature changes. The statistics and …

Atmospheric dust emission is closely related to conditions in the source area. Typically,
loess deposits represent the accumulation of locally derived dust, providing the opportunity …

Different origins of loess deposits in northern and southern Central Asia are not only
associated with Central Asian topography, but also with aeolian dust dynamics. However …
