Provenance fluctuations of aeolian deposits on the Chinese Loess Plateausince the Miocene

, 2015
The evolution of the provenance of aeolian deposits on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is closely linked to changes in source aridity and dust transport dynamics. Although previous studies have revealed that the provenance of Chinese aeolian deposits may

The efficiency of elemental geochemistry and weathering indices as tracers in aeolian sediment provenance fingerprinting

, 2022
Confirmation of cost-effective and reliable tracers for aeolian sediment (sand dune) source fingerprinting warrants further research. Accordingly, the main objective of the work reported in this paper was to investigate the efficiency of weathering ...

Proglacial lake records of Holocene glacier behaviour and catchment processes in Slettedalen, Northeast Greenland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Constraining Arctic catchment response to Holocene climate change is vital for understanding future environments. We present detailed sedimentological, geochemical and grain size end‐member analysis of two Holocene (~7.0 ka to present) lake sequences, S1 and S2, close to Zackenberg, Northeast Greenland.

Planetary Aeolian Geomorphology

, 2019
Aeolian processes contribute to surface landforms on several bodies in our solar system. Sediment transport is responsible for a broad range of geophysical phenomena, including dust storms on Earth and Mars and the formation and migration of dunes on ...

An exploratory study on the use of different composite magnetic and colour fingerprints in aeolian sediment provenance fingerprinting

, 2021
There is an urgent need for reliable and cost-effective sediment source tracing techniques for apportioning aeolian sediment (sand dune) sources for guiding the selection of best management practices for wind erosion control. Accordingly, the main aim of

Exploring Marine and Aeolian Controls on Coastal Foredune Growth Using a Coupled Numerical Model

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
Coastal landscape change represents aggregated sediment transport gradients from spatially and temporally variable marine and aeolian forces. Numerous tools exist that independently simulate subaqueous and subaerial coastal profile change in response to ...

From Highlands to Henge: Refining the Provenance and Transport Pathways of Stonehenge's Altar Stone

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Altar Stone, the 6000 kg central sandstone megalith at Stonehenge in southern England, is suggested to have originated from the Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, some 700 km away. However, its source location within this large basin remains unresolved and its mode of transport uncertain.

Hydraulic reconstruction of catastrophic drainage from the Late Glacial, Lake Fraser, British Columbia, Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glacial Lake Fraser, which formed in British Columbia against the retreating Cordilleran Ice Sheet, stored ~520 km3 of water before its near‐total drainage into the Salish Sea during an outburst flood event. Despite the impact of the outburst flood on sediment transport and landscape evolution in the Fraser River valley, its peak discharge and

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...
