Loess of southern South America
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2003)
Geochemistry of a Late Quaternary loess-paleosol sequence in central Argentina: Implications for weathering, sedimentary recycling and provenance
(Elsevier Science, 2019-10)
A loess-paleosol sequence in the Pampean Plain, central Argentina was analyzed geochemically, in order to evaluate the weathering signature and sedimentary recycling as well as to analyze the origin of these loessic ...
New insights on sources contributing dust to the loess record of the western edge of the Pampean Plain during the transition from the late MIS 2 to the early Holocene
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2019-09)
High-resolution studies of palaeorecords located closer to the dust source areas of South America are relevant for increasing the knowledge on past climatic conditions in the Southern Hemisphere. In this sense, the Pampean ...
The paleoclimatic message from the polymodal grain-size distribution of late Pleistocene-early Holocene Pampean loess (Argentina)
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-01)
Wind-blown dust deposits are considered one of the most important terrestrial archives for past climate change studies. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Pampean loess is the most extensive paleo-dust record, whose origin ...
Revisiting the chronology and environmental conditions for the accretion of late Pleistocene-early Holocene Pampean loess (Argentina)
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-06)
The present research work reviews the age models of three previously studied loess sections across 700 km in the loess belt of the Pampean region in central Argentina. The loess sections were investigated for the first ...
Isotopic constraints on the source of Argentinian loess - With implications for atmospheric circulation and the provenance of Antarctic dust during recent glacial maxima
(Elsevier Science, 2003-07)
We present rare-earth element (REE) and Sr-Nd isotopic data for Argentinian loess (28-38°S) with two aims: (1) to examine the source regions of Argentinian loess and the constraints that these put on palaeo-wind directions; ...
Climatic interpretation of a 1.9 Ma environmental magnetic record of loess deposition and soil formation in the central eastern Pampas of Buenos Aires, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2010-09)
Much of what we know about Quaternary climate has been learned from sedimentary records from the world's oceans. With the exception of the extensive studies of the Chinese loess/paleosol sequence and more recent studies ...
Geothermal energy in loess
(Thomas Telford Publishing, 2016-07)
Ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems efficiently heat and cool buildings by using sustainable geothermal energy accessed by way of ground heat exchangers (GHEs). Loess covers vast parts of the world, about 10% of the ...
First data on volume and type of deflated sediment from Southern Puna Plateau and its role as source of the Chaco-Pampean loess
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-05)
This paper presents the first attempt at qualitatively and quantitatively evaluating the sedimentary contribution of the Puna plateau to the loess and soils of the Argentinean Pampas. The origin of the Pampean sediment has ...
