Journal Article
Walker, S., Thirlwall, M. F., Strachan, R. A., & Bird, A. F. (2016). Evidence from Rb–Sr mineral ages for multiple orogenic events in the Caledonides of Shetland, Scotland. Journal of the Geological Society, 173(3), 489-503. https://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2015-034

Shetland occupies a unique central location within the North Atlantic Caledonides. Thirty-three new high-precision Rb–Sr mineral ages indicate a polyorogenic history. Ages of 723–702 Ma obtained from the vicinity of the Wester Keolka Shear Zone indic...

(2015). Loess plateau storage of Northeastern Tibetan plateau-derived Yellow River sediment. Nature communications, 6(1), Article ARTN 8511. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms9511

Marine accumulations of terrigenous sediment are widely assumed to accurately record climatic- and tectonic-controlled mountain denudation and play an important role in understanding late Cenozoic mountain uplift and global cooling. Underpinning this... Read More about Loess plateau storage of Northeastern Tibetan plateau-derived Yellow River sediment.

Quaternary dust source variation across the Chinese Loess Plateau (2015)
Journal Article
Bird, A., Stevens, T., Rittner, M., Vermeesch, P., Carter, A., Andò, S., Garzanti, E., Lu, H., Nie, J., Zeng, L., Zhang, H., & Xu, Z. (2015). Quaternary dust source variation across the Chinese Loess Plateau. Palaeogeography, palaeoclimatology, palaeoecology, 435, 254-264. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2015.06.024

The Chinese Loess Plateau in north central China contains one of the most valuable Cenozoic climate archives on land. Establishing the origin of this substantial archive of aeolian sediments is critical for the interpretation of loess climate proxies...
