Aeolian sediments and other surface deposits are widespread along the broad valleys across the Yarlung Tsangpo (YT) catchment on the southern Tibetan Plateau (TP) and are considered important sources of global dust. However, geochemical differentiation in different reaches, sedimentary circulation,...
