Speleothem‐derived Asian summer monsoon variations in Central China, 54–46 ka
Abstract The oxygen isotope signature (δ 18 O) of stalagmite SI3 collected from Shizi Cave in north‐east Sichuan Province provides an Asian Summer Monsoon (ASM) record in Central China for the period 54–46 ka. The SI3 δ 18 O record clearly shows a negative δ 18 O excursion centred around 49.4 ka, wh...
