Interpreting the wealth of new data derived from the diverse suite of modern single-grain
provenance approaches available to a sedimentologist requires a thorough understanding …

Heavy mineral concentration in sediments depends primarily on the chemistry and tectono-
stratigraphic level of rocks eroded within continental-block, arc, or orogenic source terranes …

Sediments carried in suspension represent a fundamental part of fluvial transport.
Nonetheless, largely because of technical problems, they have been hitherto widely …

This study investigates the natural processes that control concentration of detrital minerals
and consequently chemical elements in river sand. The novelty of our approach consists in …

传统的重矿物分析是碎屑沉积物物源示踪的基本方法, 具有费用便宜, 物源信息全面等优点,
还可以为单矿物物源示踪提供重要的背景信息, 具有无可替代的作用. 近年来 …

By selecting a limited number of variables (westward vs. eastward subduction polarity;
oceanic vs. continental origin of downgoing and overriding plates), we identify eight end …

A considerable amount of research has focused on how and when the Tibetan plateau
formed in the wake of tectonic convergence between India and Asia. Although far less …

Sr and Nd concentrations and isotope compositions in sediment of the Ganga River, from
Gangotri to Rajmahal, and its tributaries have been measured to determine provenance and …

Despite longstanding research on the age and formation of the Tibetan Plateau, the controls
on the erosional decay of its margins remain controversial. Pronounced aridity and highly …

This paper reviews the state of the art in the concept as well as in the application of sediment
budgets in sedimentary research. Sediments are a product of mass dispersal at the Earth …
