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 …

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 …

Considerable attention has been paid to dating the earliest appearance of hominins outside
Africa. The earliest skeletal and artefactual evidence for the genus Homo in Asia currently …

We review the ages of Quaternary magnetic polarity reversals and magnetic excursions.
Improvements in radioisotopic 40 Ar/39 Ar dating of reversals and excursions reflect the use …

This study aims to establish a stacked climate record of the Quaternary period from the
Chinese loess sequence and to address the forcing mechanisms for the regional climate …

Magnetic susceptibility and grain size records from two continuous red-clay and loess–
palaeosol sequences on the Chinese Loess Plateau have been generated to investigate the …

The Asian monsoon is comprised of the Indian and East Asian subsystems. These two
components are linked to one another in varying degrees by regions of strong sensible …

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

Mineral magnetism of the Chinese loess has been investigated for more than 20 years.
Although there is a consensus that the neoformation of fine-grained maghemite particles in …

In the present study, the Chashmanigar loess–soil sequence in southern Tajikistan is
studied; this loess section has a paleomagnetic basal age of about 1.77 Myr. Magnetic …
