The oxygen isotope signature (d18O) 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 d18O record clearly shows a negative d18O excursion centred around 49.4 ka, which was reporte...
