| The loess is thickest near the margin of the Iowan till sheet and thins progressively both north and south. |
| The authors provide, in this paper, the first quantitative estimate of carbon stocks in Siberian loess permafrost. |
| Now that we have some visuals of what a dune, yardang, a loess are we can go into the actual definitions. |
| It has a relatively large component of loess and contains ovoid inclusions of loessic silt which were deposited by solifluction. |
| Large-scale landslides and mass flowage of loess are frequently triggered by heavy, seasonal rainstorms in the drylands of Asia and elsewhere. |
| In flat coastal plains and piedmonts, yields appear to increase five to ten-fold with agriculture, whereas in loess terrains 100-fold increases are typical. |
