Quaternary Loess Deposition and Climate Change

Dear Colleagues, 

The current climate change is not unique to Earth’s history. Over millions of years, countless climate changes have taken place, and one of the best-investigated climate changes is the study of glacial and interglacial, and stadial and interstadial cycles in the Pleistocene. Numerous marine records demonstrate these rapid changes, but so far, land records that can be interpreted globally have not been established. The purpose of this Special Issue is to summarize the terrestrial loess–paleosol records examined by a variety of methods in an overview, monograph-like Special Issue.  

We welcome you to submit a paper to the Special Issue, “Quaternary Loess Deposition and Climate Change”. This Issue seeks to investigate the interactions between the loess–paleosol deposits and the global, regional, and local climatic impacts using paleoenvironmental, paleoclimatic sedimentological, archaeological, geochemical, and malacological approaches. This Issue is open to all periods and regions.  

Dr. Dávid Molnár
