The present paper addresses driving mechanisms of global monsoon (GM) variability and
outstanding issues in GM science. This is the second synthesis of the PAGES GM Working …

Abstract Groundwater 18O/16O, 2H/1H, 13C/12C, 3H, and 14C data can help quantify
molecular movements and chemical reactions governing groundwater recharge, quality …

The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased
enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year …

Reconstructing the history of tropical hydroclimates has been difficult, particularly for the
Amazon basin—one of Earth's major centres of deep atmospheric convection,. For example …

Whether during past climate stages or into a progressively warming world, changes in
precipitation constitute a key component of climatic change. Quantitative proxies for palaeo …

Earth's tropical and subtropical rainbands, such as Intertropical Convergence Zones (ITCZs)
and monsoons, are complex systems, governed by both large‐scale constraints on the …

The role of climate change in the development and demise of Classic Maya civilization (300
to 1000 CE) remains controversial because of the absence of well-dated climate and …

Deciphering the evolution of global climate from the end of the Last Glacial Maximum
approximately 19 ka to the early Holocene 11 ka presents an outstanding opportunity for …

The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) drives large changes in global climate patterns
from year to year, yet its sensitivity to continued anthropogenic greenhouse forcing is …

230Th-dated oxygen isotope records of stalagmites from Sanbao Cave, China, characterize
Asian Monsoon (AM) precipitation through the ends of the third-and fourthmost recent ice …
