This article provides a comprehensive review of the global monsoon that encompasses
findings from studies of both modern monsoons and paleomonsoons. We introduce a …

High-resolution oxygen isotope (δ18O) profiles of Holocene stalagmites from four caves in
Northern and Southern Oman and Yemen (Socotra) provide detailed information on …

The term “tipping point” commonly refers to a critical threshold at which a tiny perturbation
can qualitatively alter the state or development of a system. Here we introduce the term …

Carbonate cave deposits in India and China are assumed to record the intensity of monsoon
precipitation, because the δ18O of the carbonate tracks the isotopic signature of …

The Greenland Ice Core Chronology 2005 (GICC05) is a time scale based on annual layer
counting of high-resolution records from Greenland ice cores. Whereas the Holocene part of …

Variations in speleothem oxygen-isotope values (δ18O) result from a complicated interplay
of environmental controls and processes in the ocean, atmosphere, soil zone, epikarst, and …

The regional monsoons of the world have long been viewed as seasonal atmospheric
circulation reversal—analogous to a thermally-driven land-sea breeze on a continental …

A reconstruction of Holocene rainfall is presented for southwest China—an area prone to
drought and flooding due to variability in the East Asian monsoon. The reconstruction is …
