Asynchronous Holocene Optimum in East Asia monsoon region recorded by stalagmites and its underlying climate dynamics
Reconstructions of Holocene Optimum (HO) in East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) regime from speleothem versus other proxy records have yielded divergent phase relationships with the EASM and local precipitation. This apparent discrepancy has been partly attributed to the uncertainties in the climatic r...

Reconstructions of Holocene Optimum (HO) in East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) regime from speleothem versus other proxy records have yielded divergent phase relationships with the EASM and local precipitation.
