A westerly wind dominated Puna Plateau during deposition of upper Pleistocene loessic sediments in the subtropical Andes, South America

A westerly wind dominated Puna Plateau during deposition of upper Pleistocene loessic sediments in the subtropical Andes, South America

Detrital zircon ages in Pleistocene sediments and wind erosion patterns indicate the Puna Plateau was dominated by westerly winds during intervals of high dust accumulation in the eastern subtropical Andes.
