The global monsoon across time scales: Mechanisms and outstanding issues
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 …

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 …

Timing and structure of the Younger Dryas event and its underlying climate dynamics
The Younger Dryas (YD), arguably the most widely studied millennial-scale extreme climate
event, was characterized by diverse hydroclimate shifts globally and severe cooling at high …

Improvements in 230Th dating, 230Th and 234U half-life values, and U–Th isotopic measurements by multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
We have developed techniques for measuring 234U and 230Th on Faraday cups with
precisions of 1–3 epsilon units (1 ε-unit= 1 part in 104) using multi-collector inductively …

Monsoons, ITCZs, and the concept of the global monsoon
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 …

A 550,000-year record of East Asian monsoon rainfall from 10Be in loess
Cosmogenic 10Be flux from the atmosphere is a proxy for rainfall. Using this proxy, we
derived a 550,000-year-long record of East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) rainfall from …
