Alfred Jahn (1950) Loess sedimentation

This is figure 1 from Jahn's 1950 paper on loess origins. It is an interesting figure and in it Jahn attempts to place the processes of loess sedimentation within the glacial-interglacial cycle. I don't know of any other diagrams like this; this is worth another look..
