TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the evolution of the inland lakes, loess-palaeosol sequences, and glacier variations in western China, and suggested that the climatic changes show two periodicities during the Holocene, namely at intervals of about 2500 and 1000 years.

TL;DR: In this paper, a collection of over 100 individually orientated hand-samples was obtained from a 335 m loess section near Lanzhou, Northern China, and a complex magnetostratigraphy was derived, isolating seven normal events within the lower 130 m of the section.

TL;DR: Li Szeguang, an outstanding geologist with a little experience of the European Alps, to inject a systematic approach into the study of Chinese Pleistocene glacial stratigraphy starting in the early 1920s as discussed by the authors.
