The results show that the variations of element abundance and 10Be with depth are similar to those of delta 18O in DSDP, and may be considered as an indicator of climatic and environmental changes.completedQuaternary geologyIsotope geochemistryalkaline earth metalsAsiaBe-10/Be-9berylliumCenozoicchemical compositionChinaclastic sedimentsFar EastGansu Chinahigh-resolution methodsisotope ratiosisotopesloessmass spectrametalsneutron activation analysis dataO-18/O-16oxygenPleistoceneQuaternaryradioactive isotopessedimentsspectrastable isotopesupper PleistoceneXifeng ChinaEnglishgeoscientificInformation108.0000108.000036.000036.0000
