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: In this paper, the authors present a continuous record of the Asian monsoon over the last 16 ka from δ18O measurements of stalagmite calcite, which is combined with a chronology from 45 precise 230Th dates.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, a 54-year long, high-resolution skeletal oxygen isotope (6180) record extracted from a well-preserved, massive Porites sp. coral at Hainan Island, South China Sea, was used to investigate East Asian monsoon variability during summer and winter similar to 4400 calendar yr ago.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a continuous record of the Asian monsoon over the last 16 ka from δ18O measurements of stalagmite calcite, which is combined with a chronology from 45 precise 230Th dates.
