Chinese eolian deposits have been investigated intensively to reconstruct East Asian monsoon changes at tectonic to millennial timescales. However, high-resolution elemental proxies sensitive to rapid monsoon changes remains sparse. Here we present multiple elemental ratios of the Linxia loess seque...
