Age dating of lacustrine sediments in Lake Tianshuihai of the Tibetan Plateau by using U-series isochron method and its significance
The age of the clastic-clay sediments with varied content of carbonate in core TS95 taken from the Lake Tianshuihai in the northwest of the Tibetan Plateau was determined successfully by using the total sample...

Mobility sequence of chemical elements during loess weathering-pedogenesis, Weinan, Shaanxi Province, China
The distribution of chemical elements in the Weinan loess section shows that: (1) carbonate is the critical constituent affecting loess chemistry. The leaching of carbonates may cause “apparent” enrichment of ...

Organic geochemistry markers of climatic evolution in loess region of China
Two hundred and thirty-five samples collected from Weinan loess section (L2 – S0) have been analyzed by TOC (total organic carbon) and pyrolysis hydrocarbons. The curve of TOC with depth has been set up and compa...

Preliminary investigation of REE in loess
REE oxides in loess are estimated to amount to about 200 ppm. The REE distribution patterns of loess and its clay-sized fractions are characterized by the enrichment of rare earth elements of Ce family.

A preliminary discussion on the source of loessic material in China — A study of the surface textures of silt quartz grains by transmission electron microscope
Loess of China, regardless of its age, exhibits similarity in the surface texture of silt quartz grains, all of them having conchoidal fractures, flat cleavage planes (or plates), and mechanical cracks, and ha...
