A stalagmite with high U-238 content from Yangkou Cave, China, revealed the evolution of the Asian summer monsoon (ASM) between 49.1 and 59.5 ka, and the delta O-18 values recorded Dansgaard/Oeschger (D/O) events 13-17. The Yangkou record shows a relatively gradual transition into the D/O 14 and 16...
