    Description: We report mineral magnetic results from a 7.5 m loess sequence (150 samples) from the southernmost extremity of the Chinese loess plateau (which includes the last two glacial cycles). In this area the loess sediments experienced particularly intense weathering processes. The magnetic assemblage is dominated by a mixture of pseudo-single domain (PSD) and multidomain (MD) magnetite with associated superparamagnetic (SP) grains of either magnetite or maghemite in the paleosols and weathered loess horizons. All the rock magnetic parameters fluctuate in parallel with marine sediment δ18O data over the last 150Kyr, thus reflecting changing global paleoclimatic conditions. This relationship is also supported by the evidence of Milankovitch cycles in the magnetic susceptibility record. Paleorainfall estimates, when compared with other studies from the Chinese loess plateau, underline the (more) humid character of this region during the last ~130 kyr.

    Description: We have conducted a detailed mineral magnetic study of loess unit 8 (L8) and paleosol unit 8 (S8) from three localities (Jingbian, Yichuan, and Duanjiapo) along a N-S transect in the Chinese loess plateau. As expected, the lowfield magnetic susceptibility (χ) has higher values in S8 and lower values in L8. Similarly, superparamagnetic particle concentrations increase in S8 with increasingly humid climates along the N-S transect, which suggests that pedogenic magnetic enhancement is related to climate. However, in S8 at Duanjiapo, χ is so low that there is no correlation between χ and the degree of pedogenesis in this loess-paleosol cycle. It therefore appears that χ is not consistently the most suitable indicator of paleoclimate in Chinese loess-paleosol sequences. Our results indicate that there are complexities in the mineral magnetic response to pedogenesis, which could invalidate interpretation of the χ record of Chinese loess-paleosol sequences in terms of paleoprecipitation.

    Description: From April of 2001 to March of 2002, a passive seismic array experiment was carried out in the Dabie Shan and its adjacent region. In this experiment, totally 34 broadband seismic stations were deployed along a profile across the Dabie Shan orogen and North-China platform. This profile is about 500 km long from Cuilin (34°40’N, 114°’E), Henan Province, to Dajipu (30°20’N, 115°03’E), Hubei Province. The space between stations is about 3 – 8 km in the Dabie Shan orogenic belt and about 15 – 20 km in other area. The receiver function profile and S-wave velocity structure of the crust and upper mantle down to 100 km depth along the profile are investigated in terms of the receiver function techniques (Liu et al., 1996, 2000). Our results show that the crust beneath the Dabie Shan orogen has an obviously asymmetric blocked structure in the direction perpendicular to the mountain strike. The maximal crustal thickness reaches to 42 km. The crust-mantle boundary has a dislocation structure correlated to the crustal blocks and the largest offset reaches to 8 km. In the kernel of the orogen exists a low-velocity body inside the crust, which is separated into two parts corresponding to the South Dabie and North Dabie on the surface, respectively. Probably a vertical divergent movement between both took place in history. The crust below this low-velocity area has a positive gradient velocity structure with the depth, and the upper mantle down to the depth of 70 km has the lower S-wave velocity than its both sides. Beneath the Dabie Shan, however, a high-velocity anomaly exists in the upper mantle below 70 km.
