Abrupt intensi¢cation of the SW Indian Ocean monsoon during the last deglaciation: constraints from Th, Pa, and He isotopes
Sediments from western Arabian Sea core 74KL representing the last 23 ka were analyzed for helium, thorium, and protactinium isotopes. Assuming global average fluxes of extraterrestrial 3He and 230Th, the average 3He-derived sediment mass accumulation rate (MAR) is a factor of 1.8 higher than the av...
