Abstract The interglacial periods of the Pleistocene (MIS 5) and Holocene have been widely studied as analogs, whereas the records of the penultimate interglacial complex (MIS 7) are relatively sparse. In this study, based on a multitude of proxies, such as magnetic susceptibility, geochemical elements and their ratios, and grain size spanning MIS 7 of Xiashu Loess, the paleoclimatic changes that are synchronous with the five episodes during MIS 7 are reconstructed in the Chaohu Lake Basin, East China. It is proposed that the paleoclimate change in the Chaohu Lake Basin during MIS 7, on orbital time scale, might be controlled by low-latitude insolation; on millennium scales, might be directly driven by the global ice volume variations.
