Abstract The Danube River drainage basin is the second largest river catchment in Europe
and contains a significant and extensive region of thick loess deposits that preserve a record …

The Asian summer monsoon (ASM) is a vast climate system, whose variability is critical to
the livelihoods of billions of people across the Asian continent. During the past half-century …

Interglacials, including the present (Holocene) period, are warm, low land ice extent (high
sea level), end‐members of glacial cycles. Based on a sea level definition, we identify …

The mid-Pleistocene transition (MPT) is widely recognized as a shift in paleoclimatic
periodicity from 41-to 100-kyr cycles, which largely reflects integrated changes in global ice …

The extent to which climate variability in Central Asia is causally linked to large-scale
changes in the Asian monsoon on varying timescales remains a longstanding question …

A substantially updated version of the correlation table showing chronostratigraphical
subdivisions of late Cenozoic geological time, spanning the last 2.7 million years is …

Abstract The International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) utilises benchmark
chronostratigraphies to divide geologic time. The reliability of these records is fundamental …

Abstract Projecting how the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) rainfall will change with
global warming is essential for human sustainability. Reconstructing Holocene climate can …

The dynamics of glacial–interglacial monsoon variability can be attributed to orbitally
induced changes in summer insolation and internal boundary conditions. However, the …

Despite extensive investigation, the nature and causes of the Mid-Pleistocene Transition
remain enigmatic. In this work, we assess its linkage to asynchronous development of …
