Relationship between continental chemical weathering trends in the North China Basin and the high-latitude glacial cycles from the Late Carboniferous to the Early Permian by Ziyu LING, Minfang YANG, Lei WANG, Ye WANG, Peixin ZHANG, Haoqing LIU, Longyi SHAO, Jing LU

“…To gain a deep understanding of the potential relationship between the continental chemical weathering trends in low-latitude regions and the glacial cycles in the high-latitude Gondwana region from the Late Carboniferous to the Early Permian, this study investigated the mudstones of the Benxi-Taiyuan formations, Liujiang coalfield, North China Basin. Using multiple chemical weathering indices such as chemical index of alteration (CIA), chemical index of weathering (CIW), and plagioclase index of alteration (PIA) calculated from the elemental geochemical data of the mudstones, this study reconstructed the continental chemical weathering trends and paleoclimatic evolutionary characteristics of the Liujiang coalfield. …”
