Abstract:Studies have shown that East Asia experienced several abrupt centennial‐scale weak monsoonal events in the early Holocene. However, the timing and structure of these climate events remain unclear due to the lack of precisely dated and highly resolved records. In this study, we present a well‐dated high‐resolution East Asia summer monsoon record from 11.32 to 10 ka BP based on two coeval stalagmites, one of which developed clear annual lamina, from Shihua Cave, northern China. Stalagmite δ18O records show 2 wea… Show more
