“…Similarly, although less continuous and detailed, the late last glacial grain-size record at Dolní Věstonice shows strongly contrasting variations with numerous abrupt coarse-grained events in the upper part of the sequence spanning the interval between approximately 30 to 20 ka . Similar, abrupt grain size compositional changes are also observed in sections over the Titel loess plateau and in Katymar in southeastern Hungary Bokhorst et al, 2011). However, we are still far from achieving a valid correlation between the Greenland ice-core and the Danube loess records and similar reservations about timescale precision in the loess sequences apply to the last glacial of Nussloch and Dolní Věstonice.…”

“…For example, at the Międzyborów site, dune sediments originate from an already aeolian-transformed fan-like form sands. A general western wind direction may have prevailed during dune formation (Bokhorst et al 2011;Brauer et al 2008;Renssen et al 2007), and thus sediment was delivered from the surroundings of the Żyrardów N site. Considering this scenario, more mechanically durable garnet and the most durable zircon, disten and staurolite occur in a dune sediments than in their source.…”

This study makes an attempt to characterise Quaternary sediments in terms of their heavy minerals (HM) composition. Authors focus on the Mazovian Lowland, Central Poland, where a number of clastic sediments of different age and origin overlap. Five sedimentary settings, covering the Saalian-Holocene (MIS 1-6) time frame, have been studied to reveal whether these sediments have single or multiple source areas and to decipher sediment transformations. In the glacial setting either garnet-or amphibole-dominated sediments occur. This unequivocal mineral combination likely reflects a multi-sourcing resulting from multi-directional ice advance. The HM taken from fan-like forms and aeolian sediments are closely related; these sediments are largely multicyclic and likely derived from pre-existing recycling sediments. Similar mineral suite is also typical for long-lasting aeolian processes and is observed in dune sediments. Ultrastable components are less frequent in the coversand, which points at a shorter-lived aeolian process. Finally, the fluvial setting reveals multi-sourcing largely depending on local geological conditions.

Sediment distribution is investigated applying grain size analysis to 279 surface samples from the transitional zone between high mountains (Qilian Shan) and their arid forelands (Hexi Corridor) in north-western China. Six main sediment types were classified. Medium scale (10 3 m) geomorphological setting is carefully considered as it may play an important role concerning sediment supply and availability. A tripartite distribution of sedimentological landscape units along the mountain to foreland transition is evident. Aeolian sediments (e.g. loess and dune sands) are widespread. They are used to identify aeolian transport pathways. The mU/fS-ratio (5-11 μm/48-70 μm) among primary loess opposes the two grain size fractions being most sensitive to varying accumulation conditions. The first fraction is attributed to long-distance transport in high suspension clouds whereas the latter represents local transport in saltation mode. The ratio shows strong correlation with elevation (R 2 = 0.77). Thus, it indicates a relatively higher far-traveled dust supply in mountainous areas (>3000 m above sea level [a.s.l.]) compared to the foreland. The contribution of westerlies to high mountain loess deposits is considered likely. Hereby, the influence of the geomorphological setting on grain size composition of aeolian sediments becomes apparent: the contribution from distant dust sources is ubiquitous in the study area. However, the far-distance contribution may be reduced by the availability of fine sand provided in low topography settings. Plain foreland areas support fine sand deflation from supplying river beds, allowing the formation of sandy loess in foreland areas and intramontane basins. In contrast, high mountain topography inhibits strong sand deflation into loess deposits. Eastern parts of the Hexi Corridor show higher aeolian sand occurrence. In contrast, the western parts are dominated by gravel gobi surfaces. This is attributed to higher sand supply in eastern parts provided by the Badain Jaran Desert and fluvial storages as sand sources.
