Abstract
Paleo-records from continental sources such as lacustrine sediments and loess deposits have shown that terrestrial climatic change is closely synchronized with global climate change. The Baikal Drilling Project (BDP) has retrieved cores containing 1 600 m of sediment from the Baikal Lake (BKL) since 1993 (Williams et al., 2001). The unique archive contains a series of paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental proxies resolvable on different time scales over the last 5–12 million years (Kashiwaya et al., 2001a). These long cores provide essential records not only for compari-son with oceanic records of marine processes, but also for the usage as the benchmarks which can help to in-terpret other continental records. Late Cenozoic eolian deposit including Neogene red clay and Quaternary loess-paleosol sequences is widespread in the Chinese loess plateau (CLP), and is regarded as one of the best continental archives of paleoclimate change.
