金沢大学自然計測応用研究センター金沢大学大学院自然科学研究科Nankai University (CHINA)Chinese Academy of Sciences (CHINA)Abstract – The atmosphere is a significant pathway for the transport of loess and pollutants from Asian continental interior to Japan. Loess would play a critical role in many processes during transport either indirectly (e.g., climate) or directly (e.g., health). For kick-off of our research, loess as an Asian monsoon proxy and historical record of sedimentary PAH were reviewed, and research plans to investigate the impact of climate and human activity on loess delivery to Japanese lake systems were proposed
