Orbital‐ and millennial‐scale fluctuations in late Quaternary marine pollen records from the Japan Sea
Abstract Quaternary surface water conditions within the Japan Sea change with eustatic sea‐level changes and fluctuations in the East Asian Summer Monsoon (EASM), influencing regional climate and vegetation through the delivery of heat and moisture. Our marine pollen data suggest overall cooling fro...
