| Abstract | The Shagou loess section recorded the evolution information of severe sandstorms in the Tengger Desert during the Last Interglacial (MIS 5). By analyzing the grain size data of the loess samples using the grain size class-standard deviation, we selected the grain size component between 209 and 550 μm to reconstruct the evolution history of the severe sandstorms in the Tengger Desert during the Last Interglacial. The results indicate that there were at least 12 periods of frequently occurring severe sandstorms in that location over this time period. There were two periods in each of S1SS1 and S1SS2, four periods in S1LL1, three periods in S1LL2 and one in S1LL4. The occurrence frequency and intensity of the severe sandstorms presented a characteristic increase from the early to the late period of the Last Interglacial. Combined with the calcium carbonate results, this evidence suggests that climatic change is closely related to sandstorms. A warm and wet climate could restrict the occurrence of severe sandstorms; conversely, a cold and dry climate easily induces severe sandstorms. Meanwhile, with a warm and dry climate background, the relationship between climatic change and the occurrence of sandstorms is quite complex: severe sandstorms are also able to occur in such a climate. A cold and dry climate, however, does not mean a certainty of severe sandstorms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
