In environmental magnetism, rock and mineral magnetic techniques are used to investigate
the formation, transportation, deposition, and postdepositional alterations of magnetic …

▪ Abstract This paper presents a general review of the recent research advances of the East
Asian paleomonsoon, based mainly on studies of the loess-soil sequences in the Chinese …

Glacial–interglacial changes in the distribution of C3/C4 vegetation on the Chinese Loess
Plateau have been related to East Asian summer monsoon intensity and position, and could …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

The theory, measurement and interpretation of frequency-dependent susceptibility (χFD) are
examined. A new model is proposed which explains χFD in terms of the behaviour of all …

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 …

The magnetic properties of paleosols developed in Quaternary sequences of loess have
been used for: stratigraphic definition; correlation with other terrestrial and deep-sea …

Hematite is a canted antiferromagnet with reddish color that occurs widely on Earth and
Mars. Identification and quantification of hematite is conveniently achieved through its …

Rb, Sr, and magnetic susceptibility have been measured in the last interglacial–glacial loess
profiles at Luochuan and Huanxian, central China. A high degree of similarity between the …

Magnetic susceptibility values for topsoils across England arc combined with data for soil
type, geochemistry and concentrations of magnetotactic bacteria in order to evaluate …
