Oxygen isotope variations in Chinese stalagmites have been widely interpreted as a record
of the amount of East Asian summer monsoonal rainfall. This interpretation infers decreasing …

Chinese speleothems (cave deposits) preserve a remarkable paleoclimate record in their
oxygen isotope ratios (δ18O); the precise interpretation of this record has been the subject of …

Variability in oxygen isotope ratios collected from speleothems in Chinese caves is often
interpreted as a proxy for variability of precipitation, summer precipitation, seasonality of …

Two stalagmites from Xiangshui (X3) and Yaoba Don (YB1) Caves in southeastern China
provide high-resolution δ18O time-series that exhibit prominent millennial-scale fluctuations …

According to recent research, Late Holocene stalagmite oxygen isotope sequences from the
same cave or the same region situated in the monsoon zones of China have good …

Oxygen isotope records of stalagmites from Southern China provide very important climatic
information. To avoid possible local-micro climate disturbances, tests for equilibrium deposit …

Central Asia lies at the convergence between the Mediterranean and Asian monsoon
climates, and there is a complex interaction between the westerlies with the monsoon to …

Speleothem δ 18O is widely used to reconstruct past hydroclimate variability, particularly
over Asia. However, the interpretation of this proxy is still in debate. While this proxy is …

In the last two decades, stalagmite oxygen isotope (δ 18 O) records have been widely used
to study the evolution of the paleomonsoon. Nevertheless, interpreting cave δ 18 O records …

Oxygen isotope records from stalagmites in caves in southern China, interpreted as proxy
rainfall records reflecting the intensity of the East Asian summer monsoon, indicate gradual …
