East Asian summer monsoon climates and cave hydrological cycles over Dansgaard-Oeschger events 14 to 11 revealed by a new stalagmite record from Hulu Cave
A 230 Th/U-dated stalagmite from Hulu Cave was analyzed for δ 18 O, δ 13 C, and trace elements. A ~10-yr-resolution δ 18 O record, spanning 51.7–42.6 ka, revealed Dansgaard-Oeschger (DO) events 14 to 11. A similar rapid transition and synchronous timing of the onset of DO 12 is evident between the Greenland and Hulu Cave records, which suggests a common forcing mechanism of DO cycles in the North Atlantic and monsoonal region of Asia. Centennial-…
The 7.2 ka climate event
Speleothem records have radically changed our understanding of the paleo Asian monsoon (AM), but explanations for Asian summer monsoon (ASM) variations in the Holocene period are usually based on single proxy records, such as oxygen isotope (δ 18 O). The application of multi-proxy records to the study of the forcing mechanism and internal structure of climate events is more comprehensive and accurate in the analysis of paleoclimates than using si…
Millennial-scale Asian monsoon variability during the late Marine Isotope Stage 6 from Hulu Cave, China
A precisely 230 Th-dated stalagmite δ 13 C profile from Hulu Cave, China, is presented to characterize the frequency and pattern of millennial-scale Asian monsoon (AM) variability from 160.6 to 132.5 ka. Evidence for an antiphased relationship of the δ 13 C and δ 18 O on the millennial scale suggests that the δ 13 C is indicative of the local hydrological cycle associated with changes in AM strength. Owing to the δ 13 C responding to AM changes m…
Remote vs. local control on the Preboreal Asian hydroclimate and soil processes recorded by an annually-laminated stalagmite from Daoguan Cave, southern China
Strong coupling of centennial-scale changes of Asian monsoon and soil processes derived from stalagmite δ 18 O and δ 13 C records, southern China
The paleoclimate application of speleothem δ 13 C is influenced by site-specific processes. Here we present four stalagmite δ 13 C records from two caves in southern China, covering early and late Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3 and the Holocene, to investigate the spatio-temporal pattern of calcite δ 13 C changes and the relationship with Asian monsoon (AM) variability. In each growth period, precessional- to millennial-scale changes are clear in t…

A 3000-yr Annually Laminated Stalagmite Record of the Last Glacial Maximum from Hulu Cave, China
A high-resolution, annual layer-counted and 230 Th-dated multi-proxy record is constructed from a stalagmite in Hulu Cave, China. These proxies, including δ 18 O, annual layer thickness (ALT), gray level (GL) and Sr/Ca, cover a time span of ~ 3000 yr from 21 to 24 ka. The physical proxies (ALT and GL) and the geochemical index (Sr/Ca), all primarily reflecting karst hydrological processes, vary in concert and their coherence is supported by wavel…
A detailed East Asian monsoon history surrounding the ‘Mystery Interval’ derived from three Chinese speleothem records
The ‘Mystery Interval’ (MI, 17.5−14.5 ka) was the first stage of the last deglaciation, a key interval for understanding mechanisms of glacial–interglacial cycles. To elucidate possible causes of the MI, here we present three high-resolution, precisely dated oxygen-isotope records of stalagmites from Qingtian and Hulu Caves in China, reflecting changes in the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) then. Based on well-established chronologies using prec…
Centennial-scale Asian Monsoon variability during the mid-Younger Dryas from Qingtian Cave, central China
The regional climate correlation within the Northern Hemisphere in the cold/dry mid-Younger Dryas event (YD) remains elusive. A key to unraveling this issue is sufficient knowledge of the detailed climate variability at the low latitudes. Here we present a high-resolution (3-yr) δ 18 O record of an annually laminated stalagmite from central China that reveals a detailed Asian monsoon (AM) history from 13.36 to 10.99 ka. The YD in this record is e…

A high-resolution stalagmite record of the Holocene East Asian monsoon from Mt Shennongjia, central China
High-resolution oxygen isotope (δ 18 O) profiles of six stalagmites from Sanbao Cave in Hubei province, central China, established with 1413 oxygen isotope data and 65 230 Th ages, provide a continuous history of East Asian Summer Monsoon (EASM) intensity for the period from 13—0.2 thousand years before present (ky BP, relative to AD 1950). The δ 18 O record includes four distinct stages in the evolution of the EASM: (1) an abrupt transition (~11…
Millennial- and orbital-scale changes in the East Asian monsoon over the past 224,000 years
The Holocene Asian Monsoon
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. Although the record broadly follows summer insolation, it is punctuated by eight weak monsoon events lasting ∼1 to 5 centuries. One correlates with the “8200-year” event, another with the collapse of the Chinese Neolithic culture, and most with North Atlantic ice-rafting events. Cr…
