A climatic reversal at the last interglacial-last glacial transition recorded in the loess section at Zhaitang , Beijing

摘要

A weakly developed paleosol was identified at S1-L1 transition of the loess section of Zhai- tang, Beijing. This paleosol may represent a climatic reversal which is associated with the strengthen- ing in summer monsoon and correlated well with the climatic regression event documented in the paleo- climate records from Greenland ice, marine sediments and European pollen at the last interglacial-last glacial transition.
