The dust storm events recorded in DaQaidam region of Qaidam Basin since Late Glacial period: evidence from the grain size of lake sediment

The paper focused on the study of detrital yellow layer from sediment profile D3 of DaQaidam Salt Lake, based on AMS 14C chronologic and mineralogical methods, aimed to discuss the dust storm events recorded by detrital yellow layer of DaQaidam region since Late Glacial period. The results showed th...

description The paper focused on the study of detrital yellow layer from sediment profile D3 of DaQaidam Salt Lake, based on AMS 14C chronologic and mineralogical methods, aimed to discuss the dust storm events recorded by detrital yellow layer of DaQaidam region since Late Glacial period. The results showed that the grain-size distribution curve displayed double kurtosis, the main peak (10 µm in average) reflected the fine-grained fractions into lake by fluviation, and the secondary peak (> 32 µm) reflected the coarse silt fractions into lake by wind effect and fluviation. Finally, the coarse-grained fractions (> 64 µm) from sediment profile D3 probably recorded the dust storm events since Late Glacial period.
