- Abstract
Magnetic susceptibility (MS) is one of the most important indicators of the East- Asia summer monsoon. Presented in this study is a high resolution magnetic susceptibility record from the Xifeng section, which consists of Quaternary loess-paleosol sequence and Pliocene red clay. Variations in magnetic susceptibility are well correlated with the δ18O record in deep-sea sediments and the eolian flux of Greenland. The climatic evolution in the Xifeng section shows that since the Late Tertiary, the driving force of the East-Asia paleo-monsoon is correlated with solar radiation on a 10-ka time scale.
