TL;DR: A 550,000-year-long record of East Asian summer monsoon rainfall from Chinese loess is derived, arguing that both EASM intensity and Chinese cave δ18O are not governed by high-northern-latitude insolation, as suggested by others, but rather by low-latitudes interhemispheric insolation gradients, which may also strongly influence global ice volume via monsoon dynamics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used radiocarbon accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) techniques to date total organic carbon and plant seeds in the 1Fs core sequence (36°48′N, 100°08′E) from Qinghai Lake.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used multivariable linear regression to remove the geomagnetic field modulation and dust flux dilution effects from the cosmogenic 10Be record for reconstructing precipitation.

TL;DR: In Chinese loess, the Brunhes-Matuyama (B-M) geomagnetic reversal occurs ∼25 k.y. prior to the age found in marine sediments.

TL;DR: In this article, a reconstruction of geomagnetic relative paleointensities for the past 130 kyr from 10Be records in 2 Chinese loess-paleosol sections using a correction based on the correlation of 10Be with magnetic susceptibility (SUS) to remove the climatic contamination.
