Abrupt weakening of the summer monsoon in northwest India ∼4100 yr ago
TL;DR: In this paper, an oxygen iso-tope record of gastropod aragonite (δ 18 O a ) from Holocene sediments of paleolake Kotla Dahar (Haryana, India) is reported.
Abrupt weakening of the Indian summer monsoon at 8.2 kyr B.P.
TL;DR: An oxygen isotope record of biogenic carbonate from paleolake Riwasa in northwestern India provides a history of the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) from ∼11 to 6 kyr B.P as mentioned in this paper.
