Abstract:Rapid global changes since the last deglaciation can be well documented in marginal sea sediments, while isolating individual paleoenvironmental signals is still challenging. Here, we identified magnetic minerals and unmixed their variations in sediments from the northwestern South China Sea to decipher environmental variations since the last deglaciation. The variation in the hematite to goethite ratio indicates a relatively drier mid‐Holocene and a wetter early and late Holocene in the Red River catchment. T… Show more
