Holocene variability of the Kuroshio Current in the Okinawa Trough, northwestern Pacific Ocean

TLDR
In this paper, the main flow of the Kuroshio Current was inferred to re-enter the Okinawa Trough at ∼7.3 calendar (cal.) kyr BP, leading to abrupt changes in sedimentation rate, remarkably increased abundance of Pulleniatina obliquiloculata, increased sea surface temperature (SST) and depth of thermocline (DOT).

Flux and fate of Yangtze River sediment delivered to the East China Sea

TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution seismic profiling and coring in the southern East China Sea during 2003 and 2004 cruises has revealed an elongated (similar to 800 km) distal subaqueous mud wedge extending from the Yangtze River mouth southward off the Zhejiang and Fujian coasts into the Taiwan Strait.

Evolution and variability of the Asian monsoon system: state of the art and outstanding issues.

TL;DR: The Asian monsoon is comprised of the Indian and East Asian subsystems, and the extent to which they interact with other climate phenomena (e.g., ENSO) are current topics of modern and paleoclimate research.
Journal ArticleDOI

History of Indo-Pacific coral reef systems since the last glaciation: Development patterns and controlling factors

TL;DR: In this paper, a re-examination of the core dataset from the literature, with reconversion of many previously published radiocarbon ages into calendar dates, was carried out to identify seven framework and three detrital facies.

Holocene East Asian monsoonal precipitation pattern revealed by grain-size distribution of core sediments of Daihai Lake in Inner Mongolia of north-central China

TL;DR: In this paper, two sediment cores recovered in the central part of Daihai Lake in north-central China were analyzed at 2-to 4-cm intervals for grain-size distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Possible role of the “Holocene Event 3” on the collapse of Neolithic Cultures around the Central Plain of China

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize data to show that an interval of severe climatic anomalies occurred across much of China, which were synchronous with a climatic event identified at least in the Northern Hemisphere.

INTCAL98 Radiocarbon Age Calibration, 24,000-0 cal BP

TL;DR: In this paper, the conversion of radiocarbon ages to calibrated (cal) ages for the interval 24,000-0 cal BP (Before Present, 0 cal BP = AD 1950) is discussed.

A Pervasive Millennial-Scale Cycle in North Atlantic Holocene and Glacial Climates

TL;DR: In this paper, the North Atlantic deep sea cores reveal that abrupt shifts punctuated what is conventionally thought to have been a relatively stable Holocene climate, and they make up a series of climate shifts with a cyclicity close to 1470 ± 500 years, which is the most recent manifestation of a pervasive millennial-scale climate cycle operating independently of the glacial-interglacial climate state.

Correlations between climate records from North Atlantic sediments and Greenland ice

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present records of sea surface temperature from North Atlantic sediments spanning the past 90 kyr which contain a series of rapid temperature oscillations closely matching those in the ice-core record, confirming predictions that the ocean must bear the imprint of the Dansgaard-Oeschger events.

Climatic changes of the last 18,000 years: observations and model simulations

Cohmap Members
- 26 Aug 1988 - 
TL;DR: In this article, changes in solar radiation arising from changes in the orientation of the earth's axis had pronounced effects on tropical monsoons and mid-latitude climates as well as on ice-sheet configuration.

Iceberg discharges into the north atlantic on millennial time scales during the last glaciation.

TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution studies of North Atlantic deep sea cores demonstrate that prominent increases in iceberg calving recurred at intervals of 2000 to 3000 years, much more frequently than the 7000-to 10,000-year pacing of massive ice discharges associated with Heinrich events.
