The Asian monsoon over the past 640,000 years and ice age terminations
Oxygen isotope records from Chinese caves characterize changes in both the Asian
monsoon and global climate. Here, using our new speleothem data, we extend the Chinese …

Mediterranean climate and oceanography, and the periodic development of anoxic events (sapropels)
Mediterranean sapropels are layers with elevated organic carbon concentrations that
contrast with surrounding sediments, which are organic poor. Sapropels occur (quasi-) …

The time-transgressive termination of the African Humid Period
Abstract During the African Humid Period about 14,800 to 5,500 years ago, changes in
incoming solar radiation during Northern Hemisphere summers led to the large-scale …

Reconstructing chemical weathering, physical erosion and monsoon intensity since 25 Ma in the northern South China Sea: a review of competing proxies
Reconstructing the changing strength of the East Asian summer monsoon has been
controversial because different proxies, many being indirect measures of rainfall, tell …
