4: Wind Blown Sediments in the Quaternary Record (Quaternary Proceedings)

An in-depth analysis of the aeolian Quaternary record and current methods used in its study. With an emphasis on stratigraphical records gathered in the loess-palaeosol sequences of China and central Asia, the papers examine data derived from a range of complementary techniques: the marine oxygen isotope record, magnetostratigraphy, spectral analysis, magnetic susceptibility, anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility, rock magnetism, magnetic grain size, magnetic separation using the citrate-bicarbonate-dithionite technique, particle size analysis, palaeosol micromorphology, canning electron microscopy, carbon isotopes, electron microscopy, carbon isotopes, electron spin, resonance and luminescence dating.
