DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2020.116648
Abstract: Abstract Orbital-scale East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) variability has been extensively investigated in Pliocene-Quaternary loess and marine sediments. In recent years, middle-late Miocene orbital-scale EASM variability has been depicted in lacustrine deposits from NE Tibetan… read more here.
