The holocene Asian monsoon : links to solar changes and North Atlantic climate
Yongjin Wang,Hai Cheng,Hai Cheng,R. Lawrence Edwards,Yaoqi He,Xinggong Kong,Zhisheng An,Jiangying Wu,Megan J. Kelly,Carolyn A. Dykoski,Xiangdong Li +10 more
TL;DR: A 5-year-resolution absolute-dated oxygen isotope record from Dongge Cave, southern China, provides a continuous history of the Asian monsoon over the past 9000 years, and shows that some, but not all, of the monsoon variability at these frequencies results from changes in solar output.

TL;DR: Thorium-230 ages and oxygen isotope ratios of stalagmites from Dongge Cave, China, characterize the Asian Monsoon and low-latitude precipitation over the past 160,000 years, indicating that insolation triggered the final rise to full interglacial conditions.

The variation of summer monsoon precipitation in central China since the last deglaciation
Yanjun Cai,Liangcheng Tan,Hai Cheng,Zhisheng An,R. Lawrence Edwards,Megan J. Kelly,Xinggong Kong,Xianfeng Wang +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, stalagmites collected from Jiuxian Cave in the Shaanxi Province in central China have been studied with U-series dating and stable isotope analysis, showing that significant monsoonal climate changes occurred in eastern Asia as far north as the Qinling Mountains during the LGM interval.

TL;DR: A new long speleothem δ18O time series from Xiaobailong cave in southwest China characterizes changes in a major branch of Indian summer monsoon precipitation over the last 252 kyrs, and shows clear glacial–interglacial variations that are consistent with marine and other terrestrial proxies but different from the cave records in East China.

High resolution characterization of the Asian Monsoon between 146,000 and 99,000 years B.P. from Dongge Cave, China and global correlation of events surrounding Termination II
Megan J. Kelly,R. Lawrence Edwards,Hai Cheng,Daoxian Yuan,Yanjun Cai,Meiliang Zhang,Yushi Lin,Zhisheng An +7 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a high-resolution absolute-dated Late Pleistocene and deglacial Asian monsoon record from Dongge Cave, China, showing that monsoon intensity correlates well with atmospheric CH4 concentrations over the transition into the Bolling-Allerod, the Bollings Allerod and the Younger Dryas, providing a detailed account of δ18O variations over most of MIS 5 and the latter portion of MIS 6.
