Constraining the controls on the distribution of sediment at a continental scale is a critical
step in understanding long-term landscape and climate evolution. In particular …

Loess sequences are widely distributed in semi-arid regions around the world, and are
sometimes also located in coastal zones. The accumulations of coastal loess provide a …

Abstract The normally-closed Caspian Sea is known for large changes in relative sea-level
(of∼ 170 m) during the late Quaternary. These transgressive/regressive events influenced …

We present a detailed luminescence chronology of the loess-palaeosol sequences in the
Lower Volga region of Russia at the Leninsk site–an important palaeogeographic archive …

The Caspian region provides the basis of the stratigraphy and palaeogeography of the
Pleistocene of Central Eurasia, and has been actively studied for more than 200 years …

Atmospheric mineral dust is a poorly constrained yet extremely important component of the
climate system. Provenance studies from geologic dust archives are crucial to understand …

Abstract The Late Quaternary history of the Caspian Sea remains controversial. One of the
major disagreements in this debate concerns the stratigraphic correlation of various deposits …

We present new palaeomagnetic and rock magnetic results with a stratigraphic
interpretation of the late Early–Middle Pleistocene deposits exposed on the left bank of the …

Loess-paleosol sequences (LPSs) are one of the main components of the natural
environment, which traces how the climate has changed in the past. The article discusses …

Loess was first identified in England as early as the mid-19th century, although these
deposits were later mapped as 'brickearth'or 'head-brickearth'by the British Geological …
