This paper explores the evolution of geoscientific inquiry, tracing the progression from
traditional physics-based models to modern data-driven approaches facilitated by significant …

The genus Homo evolved during the Pleistocene—an epoch of gradual cooling and
amplification of glacial cycles. The changing climates influenced early human survival …

The glacial-interglacial variability of precipitation and its driving mechanism in monsoonal
regions has long been a subject of debate. However, there are few records of quantitative …

Climate variability over the past 800,000 years has long been described as being dominated
by~ 100-kyr glacial cycles, and researchers have debated whether these glacial cycles were …

Qunf Cave oxygen isotope (δ18Oc) record from southern Oman is one of the most significant
of few Holocene Indian summer monsoon cave records. However, the interpretation of the …

Astronomical insolation forcing is well established as the underlying metronome of
Quaternary ice ages and Cenozoic climate changes. Yet its effects on earlier eras …

The relationship between initial Homo sapiens dispersal from Africa to East Asia and the
orbitally paced evolution of the Asian summer monsoon (ASM)—currently the largest …

Abstract Characterization of moisture origins is crucial to understanding hydroclimatic
processes. Nevertheless, documenting past atmospheric moisture contents and their …

Orbital forcing affects climate system by regulating the amount of solar radiation received at
the Earth's surface, which is vital for global hydrological cycles. However, a systematic …

The cycle of precipitation change is key to understanding the driving mechanism of the East
Asian summer monsoon (EASM). However, the dominant cycles of EASM precipitation …
