The signature of river- and wind-borne materials exported from Patagonia to the southern latitudes: a view from REEs and implications for paleoclimatic interpretations [PDF]
, 2004 Riverine and wind-borne materials transferred from Patagonia to the SW Atlantic exhibit a homogeneous rare earth element (REE) signature. They match well with the REE composition of Recent tephra from the Hudson volcano,and hence this implies a ...

Chemical variations of loess from the Chinese Loess Plateau and its implications
International Geology Review, 2022 The Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is the largest loess deposit on Earth with expansive surface-exposed source rocks of varying origins, ages, and history. Here, we present abundances of elements on representative loess and palaeosol samples from seven classic sections of the CLP. Most elements, including soluble elements (e.g.
