Cover Story: Compressed layers of paleo-aeolian dust are visible on the southern margin of the Guliya ice cap (western Kunlun Mountains, Tibet). This study is a physical, mineralogical, and geochemical characterization of dust particles from discrete deep sections of two Guliya ice cores, which provides a rare glimpse of the aeolian dust composition that predates the Last Glacial Maximum. The comparison between the deep layers of the Summit and Plateau sites and between stadial and interstadial transition layers of the Plateau core reveals the high variability of the Guliya dust record and demonstrates its value as an indicator of paleo-environmental conditions prevailing in NW Tibet since the Late Pleistocene.
