Micromorphology of the lower Pleistocene loess in the Iranian Loess Plateau and its paleoclimatic implications (2016)
Journal Article

The loess deposits in Iran are a valuable archive of regional paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental information. Extensive sedimentological and chronological studies have been carried out on the middle to upper Pleistocene loess successions during the...

Grain-size distribution of Pleistocene loess deposits in northern Iran and its palaeoclimatic implications (2016)
Journal Article

The loess deposits in northern Iran are located in a key region connected to the European and central Asian loess belts. However, the lack of previous detailed sedimentological and palaeoclimatic studies of the Pleistocene loess in the region limits...

Early Pleistocene climate in western arid central Asia inferred from loess-palaeosol sequences (2016)
Journal Article

Arid central Asia (ACA) is one of the most arid regions in the mid-latitudes and one of the main potential dust sources for the northern hemisphere. The lack of in situ early Pleistocene loess/dust records from ACA hinders our comprehensive understan...
