Wildfires affect 40% of the earth's terrestrial biome, but much of our knowledge of wildfire
activity is limited to the satellite era. Improved understanding of past fires is necessary to …

Abstract The Asian-Australian monsoon (AAM) system distinctly influences global climate.
However, the linkage between ENSO (El Niño–Southern Oscillation) and AAM is still poorly …

Characterizing the temporal uncertainty in palaeoclimate records is crucial for analysing
past climate change, correlating climate events between records, assessing climate …

Protracted droughts lasting years to decades constitute severe threats to human welfare
across the Indian subcontinent. Such events are, however, rare during the instrumental …

Between 5 and 4 thousand years ago, crippling megadroughts led to the disruption of
ancient civilizations across parts of Africa and Asia, yet the extent of these climate extremes …

Most paleoclimate studies of Mainland Southeast Asia hydroclimate focus on the summer
monsoon, with few studies investigating rainfall in other seasons. Here, we present a …

Climatic changes have played an important role in societal reorganizations. Particularly, the
late 16th and early 17th century coincided with severely cold condition, extremely weak …

Annually laminated speleothems have the potential to provide information on high‐
frequency climate variability and, simultaneously, provide good chronological constraints …

Compared with the widely used stable oxygen isotope (δ 18 O), the climate response of the
stable carbon isotope (δ 13 C) of speleothems in monsoonal China has received less …

The quality of climate proxy data from speleothem archives depends to varying degrees on
crystallization processes, which result in diverse fabrics. Here, we document shifts in calcite …
