Recently, the Tertiary red clay sequence underlying Pleistocene loess has attracted much attention. The remarkable progress is the recognition that the Tertiary red clay sequence is also wind-blown in origin, thus pro...
We have collected a suite of Paleoloxodon naumanni-Coelodonta antiquitatis fossils from a river terrace profile between Xi’an and Xianyang cities in Guanzhong Area, Shaanxi Province. A detailed examination of the fos...

The concentrations of Rb and Sr, and magnetic susceptibility in loess and paleosol samples from the Luo-chuan profile have been measured. The loess units deposited in different geological periods display a very simila...
Based on the climate records derived from loess deposits in north-central China, the characteristics of the East-Asia paleomonsoonal changes during the Late Pleistocene are summarized as follows: (ⅰ) The 0.1_Ma clima...
Mn 2+ EPR intensity recorded in the Chinese loess_paleosol sequence shows close correlation with magnetic susceptibility and Sr content as well as the oscillation of paleoclimate. Thus Mn 2+ EPR signal can serve as an...
THE loess-paleosol sequences from China potentially provide one of the best terrestrial records of past climates. Studies have shown that magnetic susceptibility in the sequences represents a proxy climate index close...
