Mid-late Holocene monsoonal variations from mainland Gujarat, India: A multi-proxy study for evaluating climate culture relationship

TL;DR: The results largely expand the known concentration of Indus settlements in the Cholistan Desert in Pakistan, with the detection of hundreds of new sites deeper in the desert than previously suspected including several large-sized (>30 ha) urban centers.

TL;DR: The Holocene lake records constitute an important archive for the reconstruction of paleoclimate as discussed by the authors, and despite the overall climatic stability of the Holocene, the monsoons in India, both summer, and winter, show various episodes of weakening and strengthening during this time interval.

TL;DR: This work details climate-related challenges facing island Caribbean and SWIO communities using archaeological and paleoecological evidence for past climate change and human response and argues that these cannot be successfully addressed without an understanding of the processes that have, over time, disrupted livelihoods, reshaped land- and seascapes, threatened intergenerational ecological knowledge transfer, and led to increased inequality and climate vulnerability.

TL;DR: The response of the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) to forcing factors and climate variables has not yet fully explored, even though the ISM plays a pivotal role in the socio-economics of India as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, mineral-magnetic changes result from changes in concentration of strongly ferrimagnetic terrigenous minerals and from preservation/dissolution cycles of detrital iron oxides in alternately oxic and anoxic depositional environments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the relative locus of the monsoons, the intensity of winter rains and the volume of water in the rivers in the Upper Indus, in the region of Harappa.
