To understand climate changes recorded in the Luochuan loess-palaeosols, Shaanxi province, northwes- tern China, clay mineralogy was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron micro...
Since continental sediments (in addition to the marine geological record) offer important means of deciphering environmental changes, the sediments hosted by the successive flows of the continental flood basalt prov...

Although Pleistocene red paleosols are widely distributed in South China, paleoenviron-mental interpretation has proved difficult because of intense weathering. Here we combine data from molecular fossil and magnetic ...
Palaeosols associated with fluvial of the Siwalik Group are and lacustrine deposits that occur as thick multiple pedocomplexes. The bright red color of the palaeosol beds has been earlier interpreted as a result of ho...
A definition for biomorphic analysis is suggested. The objects of analysis - biomorphs(phytoliths, sponge spicules) - are characterized with respect to their diagnostic features andmethods of data interpretation. The ...
Numerous examples of long term landscape are presented relating soil and regolith tolandforms going back to Cenozoic or Mesozoic times. Many conventional approaches to soil areinappropriate for such materials. It is i...
