	A LATE MIOCENE - EARLY PLIOCENE RECORD OF ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION CHANGE FROM THE LINXIA BASIN, NW CHINA
		Grain size spectra of lacustrine and fluvial sediments from the Linxia Basin, northeast Tibetan Plateau, spanning 13.1 to 4.4 Ma, were measured.
		By comparing grain-size distribution of the Linxia Basin with modern dust, eolian loess, Red Clay, and non-eolian sediments, two primary eolian components are recognized in the Linxia Basin: the 2-10 µm and 10-70 µm fractions.
		The intensification of atmospheric circulation seen in the increases in MAR of eolian material in the Linxia Basin is correlated with Asian desertification which is likely associated with Arctic ice volume increase and with Late Miocene and Pliocene global cooling.
