| Title | The magnetostratigraphic and enviromagnetic work of T.S. Liu and its continuing impact |
| Commission | SACCOM |
| Description | Liu Tungsheng devoted his long and fruitful scientific career to understanding the climatic and environmental secrets locked in the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP). He adopted a multi-disciplinary approach, one crucial aspect of which involved the magnetic properties of the loess and the palaeosols it contains. This session is intended to place Liu's contributions in their rightful historical context. We therefore solicit input covering both magnetostratigraphy (and its significance for chronostratigraphic control) and environmental magnetism (and its significance for understanding past global change). Results from the CLP provide a benchmark against which investigations from other major loess archives have often been measured. The session will therefore cover a wide variety of studies to provide a global perspective. One important goal is to explore the present state-of-the-art by means of invited keynote talks. |
