Pleistocene terrestrial warming trend in East Asia linked to Antarctic ice sheets growth Open
How terrestrial mean annual temperature (MAT) evolved throughout the past 2 million years (Myr) remains elusive, limiting our understanding of the patterns, mechanisms, and impacts of past temperature changes. Here we report a ~2-Myr terre…

Precession and ice sheet control of hydroclimate in Arctic East Beringia over the past 240,000 years Open
Key orbital-scale climate drivers governing Arctic hydroclimate change during the Late Quaternary are poorly constrained due to the lack of long and continuous records. Here we present a 240,000-year hydroclimate reconstruction from Imuruk…

Precession-driven low-latitude hydrological cycle paced by shifting perihelion Open
Palaeoclimate proxies reveal a significant precessional impact on the low-latitude hydrological cycle. Classical theory suggests that precession modulates the inter-hemisphere summer insolation difference and hence controls the meridional …

Astronomical driven low-latitude hydrological cycle not paced by summer insolation Open
For a century, the hemispheric summer insolation is proposed as a key pacemaker of astronomical climate change. In high latitudes, these climate changes are characterized by cyclical expansion and retreat of ice sheets. While the low-latit…

Towards quantitative reconstruction of past monsoon precipitation based on tetraether membrane lipids in Chinese loess Open
Variations in the oxygen isotope composition (δ18O) of cave speleothems and numerous proxy records from loess–paleosol sequences have revealed past variations in East Asian monsoon (EAM) intensity. However, challenges persist in reconstruc…

Intensified monsoonal rainstorm events over westerly-dominated Asian interior during the warm mid-Holocene Open
Hydroclimatic change in the Asian interior plays a key role in regulating regional environmental sustainability, water security, and human-nature relationships. However, the influence of the summer monsoon and westerly circulation on the e…
