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

The paper focuses on the concept, mapping and discussion of loess distribution in Western,
Central and Eastern Europe at a scale of 1: 2,500,000. The research work is based on …

Dust storms, produced by the removal of surface materials from the world's drylands, are a
vital component of the environment. This is because of their role in biogeochemical cycling …

Desert dust simulations generated by the National Center for Atmospheric Research's
Community Climate System Model for the current climate are shown to be consistent with …

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 …

This paper reports the results of an investigation of the Weichselian Upper Pleniglacial loess
sequences of Nussloch (Rhine Valley, Germany) based on stratigraphy, palaeopedology …

Changes in the sources, properties and fluxes of mineral aerosol ('dust') have significance
as both indicators and agents of climate change, through radiative, cloud condensation and …

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 …

Based on four decades of research by Professor Andrew Goudie, this volume provides a
state-of-the-art synthesis of our understanding of desert geomorphology. It presents a truly …

High-resolution multidisciplinary investigation of key European loess-palaeosols profiles
