c-T curves of a typical Holocene loess sample from the Jiaodao section in the central loess plateau heated to different temperatures in argon atmosphere (after Deng et al., 2001, Phys. Chem. Earth, Part A, v. 26, p. 873-878). Red (blue) lines represent heating (cooling) cycles.

　

　

Heating curves of the Holocene eolian deposits along a NW-SE transect in the loess plateau (after Deng et al., 2001, Phys. Chem. Earth, Part A, v. 26, p. 873-878). For each sample, the susceptibilities have been normalized by its room-temperature susceptibility.

c-T curves of the specimens of L1 (left column) and S1 (right column) from Lanzhou (circles), Lingtai (triangles) and Duanjiapo (diamonds). The specimens were continuously heated to different maximum temperatures. Open (solid) symbols refer to heating (cooling) data. (after Zhu et al., 2001, Phys. Chem. Earth, Part A, v. 26, p. 867-872)
