Summary

Studies on a high resolution loess section in Huining County reveal that the behaviour of climate shows high instability during the last glaciation. Results reflect that climate in Loess Plateau oscillates on millennial time scales during the last glacial period. These can be teleconnected with the records of Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles and Heinrich events in high latitudes. Results also demonstrate that variations in the intensity of wind regime on the Loess Plateau have a close correlation with the changes of global ice sheet volume.
