Reply to the discussion by F. Lagroix and S.K. Banerjee of "Geochemical evidence for the origin of late Quaternary loess in central Alaska".

The article focuses on the views of the authors' on the comments of geologists F. Lagroix and Subir K. Banerjee on the research on sedimentation and soil formation in loess deposits of Alaska conducted by the authors. The authors opine that Lagroix and Banerjee have misinterpreted their statements about glacial paleowinds and Holocene winds in the Yukon River valley. They also believe that Lagroix and Banerjee do not give regard to glacial erosion and deposition during stratigraphy.
