Journal ArticleDOI
Formal subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch: a Discussion Paper by a Working Group of INTIMATE (Integration of ice‐core, marine and terrestrial records) and the Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy (International Commission on Stratigraphy)
Michael Walker,Max Berkelhammer,Svante Björck,Les C. Cwynar,David A. Fisher,Antony J. Long,J. John Lowe,Rewi M. Newnham,Sun Olander Rasmussen,Harvey Weiss +9 more
TL;DR: This article proposed an Early-Middle Holocene Boundary at 8200 a BP and a Middle-Late Holocene boundary at 4200 aBP, each of which is linked to a Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) to ensure consistency in stratigraphic terminology.
Book ChapterDOI
An Abrupt Shift in the Indian Monsoon 4000 Years Ago
Max Berkelhammer,Ashish Sinha,Lowell D. Stott,Hai Cheng,Francesco S. R. Pausata,Kei Yoshimura +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a high-resolution proxy record from the Asian monsoon region suggests that the monsoon system is bistable and can abruptly transition between a suppressed and active state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formal ratification of the subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch (Quaternary System/Period) : two new Global Boundary Stratotype Sections and Points (GSSPs) and three new stages/subseries.
Michael Walker,Michael Walker,Martin J. Head,Max Berkelhammer,Svante Björck,Hai Cheng,Les C. Cwynar,David A. Fisher,Vasilios Gkinis,Antony J. Long,J. John Lowe,Rewi M. Newnham,Sune Olander Rasmussen,Harvey Weiss +13 more
TL;DR: A tripartite division of the Holocene into the Greenlandian, Northgrippian and Meghalayan stages/ages and their corresponding Lower/Early, Middle, Upper/Late subseries/subepochs, each supported by a Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) is reported in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
The leading mode of Indian Summer Monsoon precipitation variability during the last millennium
Ashish Sinha,Max Berkelhammer,Lowell D. Stott,Manfred Mudelsee,Hai Cheng,Hai Cheng,Jayant Biswas +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present multicentennial-length and near annually-resolved reconstructions of monsoon precipitation, inferred from absolute-dated and instrumentally calibrated speleothem oxygen isotope records from regions (central and northeast India) that have diametric responses to active-break monsoon circulation patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends and oscillations in the Indian summer monsoon rainfall over the last two millennia.
Ashish Sinha,Gayatri Kathayat,Hai Cheng,Sebastian F. M. Breitenbach,Max Berkelhammer,Manfred Mudelsee,Jayant Biswas,Richard Lawrence Edwards +7 more
TL;DR: Stable oxygen isotopes in speleothems from northern India are used to reconstruct variations in Indian monsoon rainfall over the last two millennia to find that within the long-term context of this record, the current drying trend is not outside the envelope of monsoon's oscillatory variability, albeit at the lower edge of this variance.
