Dust Sources of Last Glacial Chinese Loess Based on the Iron Mineralogy of Fractionated Source Samples

Abstract The Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is composed of an enormous volume of aeolian dust, the provenance of which is still debated. In the present study, we attempt to distinguish different sources of Last Glacial (LG) sediments of the CLP based on the iron mineralogical characteristics of differe...
