1. Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dating and Last Glacial Climate Reconstruction from the Lingtai Loess Section, Chinese Loess Plateau
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : High resolution dating of loess on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) using Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) has increased the understanding of past monsoon climate but also raised questions regarding dust mass accumulation rate (MAR), the presence of disturbances or gaps in the sediment record, a possible teleconnection between North Atlantic and East Asian monsoon climate, and whether these events are due to climate variability, local settings, or age model uncertainties. This study undertakes a detailed (<20cm sampling resolution) -OSL investigation of the Lingtai section to create an independent age model using linear regression, to reconstruct monsoon climate changes using magnetic susceptibility(MS) and grain size (GS) proxies, as well as to calculate MAR for the site.

2. The East Asian Summer Monsoon : A comparison of present, Holocene and Eemian climate
University essay from Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : The East Asian Summer Monsoon (EASM) is a major component in Asian climate. It is largely driven by climatic factors such as humidity, solar insolation and temperature. For at least 50 years the EASM has been studied extensively by scientists regarding its current strength.
