Description :
Magnetic susceptibility profiles χ in loess sequences reflect a combination of two climatically modulated processes: dust deposition and pedogenic development. To refine the understanding of the climate records contained in loess, the AA. develop a numerical model as a tool for exploring quantitatively the integrated record of the temporal variation in rates of loess aggradation and soil development contained in χ profiles.
