Abstract  The Milanggouwan stratigraphical section in Salawusu river valley on the Ordos Plateau is an ideal site for reconstructing the paleoclimate of Mu Us Desert since the Late Pleistocene. Its MIS3 sequence contained four sedimentary types and were divided into nineteen units, and they constituted half nine sedimentary cycles for paleo-mobile dune sands alternating with fluvial-lacustrine facies and paleosols. The results of major elements analysis showed the contents of Al2O3, TOFE, CaO, MgO, K2O, Na2O and TiO2 in fluvial-lacustrine facies and paleosols were apparently higher than that in paleo-mobile dune sands; contrary is the contents of SiO2 for them; and thus these major elements constituted the similar half nine "element cycles". These "element cycles" showed that the megainterstadial climates of the Salawusu valley at least went through ten wet-warm events(W) and nine cold-dry events(C) and could be divided into five substages: MIS3e (58.90~49.50 kaBP), MIS3d (49.50~40.70 ka BP), MIS3c (40.70~36.90 ka BP), MIS3b (36.90~27.00 ka BP) and MIS3a (27.00~22.30 ka BP). Thereinto, the nineteen cold warm climatic fluctuations were roughly corresponded with the stadial interstadial of GRIP ice core; as well, the five substages were rather consistent with the Guliya ice core in the climatic fluctuating features and phase as well as the North Atlantic climate reflected by the N. pachydema(s.) numbers of V23-81 core.
Key words:  Salawusu river basin      Milanggouwan stratigraphical section      Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS3)      major elements      paleoclimate
