The comparison of dust flux recorded in the red clay sediments in the Loess Plateau with that from ODP sites 885/886 in the North Pacific exhibits the same variation trends on the tenthousandyear scale. The variations of dust flux in continental and marine aeolian sediments indicate the history of Asian inland drying evolution and East Asian winter monsoon circulation since 65 MaBP. Since 65 MaBP, Asian inland region became dry and the dust production increased. Meanwhile, the East Asian winter monsoon circulation developed and entrained vast dust materials into the Loess Plateau. The source regions turned wet and the intensity of winter monsoon circulation relatively weakened during 52~36 MaBP, which led to a large decrease of dust flux. During 36~26 MaBP, the Tibetan Plateau uplifting resulted in an increasing aridity in Asian dust source regions again and also the enhancement of winter monsoon circulation, so dust flux increased rapidly. But the variations of dust fluxes recorded in the red clay and deepsea sediments were somewhat different, implying different ways of dust transport on regional and global scales.
