  <Summary>
    <Abstract>The Late Cenozoic red clay-loess sequence in the Chinese Loess Plateau 
provides a high-resolution record of paleoclimatic and tectonic changes 
related to the phased uplift of the Tibetan Plateau. Detailed 
magnetostratigraphy of a recently recovered 125-m-thick sediment 
sequence from the central Chinese Loess Plateau shows that the red 
clay began to accumulate at ca. 8.1 Ma, implying a marked drying in 
the interior of Asian as well as the initial establishment of the 
East Asian paleomonsoon regime. Prior to 3.8 Ma, the ferromagnetic 
mineral concentrations, as revealed by both magnetic susceptibility 
and S-ratios, exhibit a cyclic pattern superimposed upon a linear trend. 
This pattern collapsed immediately after 3.8 Ma, suggesting a change 
in source area. This in turn may have resulted from the reorganization 
of atmospheric circulation and the onset of the modern Asian monsoon, 
probably associated with the accelerated uplift of the Tibetan Plateau 
to a certain threshold elevation.

 
          STUDY NOTES: The eolian loess-red clay section is situated at Chaona town 
in Lingtai County, Central Chinese Loess Plateau. The entire 
Late Cenozoic sediment sequence is about 300m thick, consisting 
of a 175-m-thick Quaternary loess-paleosol sequence and 125-m-thick 
Tertiary red clay. The bottom paleomagnetism age is about 8.1 Ma. 

Age is from linear interpolation of paleomagnetic polarity boundary.
Magnetic susceptibility data are average of low-frequency and high 
frequency mass-specific magnetic susceptibility.
