Tropical forcing orbital-scale precipitation variations revealed by a maar lake record in South China

Yao Wang et al.

Summary: A study using core data from the Tianyang maar lake in South China reconstructed Asian monsoon precipitation variations over the past 250,000 years, revealing the influence of low-latitude insolation forcing on tropical monsoon precipitation changes. The research also identified the feedback effects of Intertropical Convergence Zone shifts and orbital-scale El Nino/Southern Oscillation variations in this forcing mechanism.

Local Insolation Drives Afro-Asian Monsoon at Orbital-Scale in Holocene

Qin Wen et al.

Summary: This study shows that the Afro-Asian summer monsoon is primarily driven by local insolation changes in the Northern Hemisphere and is influenced by insolation from high latitudes, while insolation from the Southern Hemisphere plays a negligible role.

Spatial differences in East Asian climate transition at-260 ka and their links to ENSO

Shaohua Tian et al.

Summary: The spatial patterns of climate changes in East Asia on orbital and tectonic timescales and their mechanisms are still poorly understood. In this study, a loess section from the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau spanning the past 430 ka is compared with records from other sites in East Asia to explore the spatial patterns of climate changes and their mechanisms. The results suggest a climate transition at around 260 ka, coinciding with a weakening of the equatorial Pacific zonal thermal gradient and a shift to a more El Nino-like state, which could explain the observed climate patterns in East Asia.

Decoupled Asian monsoon intensity and precipitation during glacial-interglacial transitions on the Chinese Loess Plateau

Yukun Zheng et al.

Summary: Discrepancies among variations in global ice volume, cave stalagmite delta O-18, and rainfall reconstruction using cosmogenic Be-10 pose challenges to understanding the evolution of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM). In this study, a 430-ka EASM mean annual precipitation record on the Chinese Loess Plateau was obtained using a deep learning neural network, which is in agreement with cave-derived delta O-18 data but differs from Be-10 precipitation reconstruction. This suggests that branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers, along with cave delta O-18, represent variations in EASM intensity and can extend the temporal scale of the EASM record.

Modulation of Effective Precipitation by Temperature in the East Asian Monsoon Margins During Marine Isotope Stage 5

Tao Li et al.

Summary: This study used proxies based on Sr/Ca and Sr-87/Sr-86 of soil carbonate to reconstruct the evolution of effective precipitation and temperature in the East Asian semi-arid region. The results showed that during Marine Isotope Stage 5, stronger summer monsoon led to lower effective precipitation due to larger increase in evapotranspiration compared to monsoonal precipitation, indicating a risk of further aridification in the semi-arid region of East Asia under climate warming.

Precipitation dynamics on the Tibetan Plateau during the Late Quaternary - Hydroclimatic sedimentary proxies versus lake level variability

Thomas Kasper et al.

Summary: By studying the hydrological balance of the endorheic lakes Nam Co and Tangra Yumco on the Tibetan Plateau, insights into the relationship between lake level fluctuations and environmental dynamics in the Late Quaternary period can be obtained. High-resolution multi-proxy records reveal a close connection between precipitation and lake level variations, with climate changes impacting this relationship.

Lake-level history of Qinghai Lake on the NE Tibetan Plateau and its implications for Asian monsoon pattern - A review

Chang Huang et al.

Summary: This study comprehensively reviews the lake-level history of Qinghai Lake since MIS 5, identifying different lake shoreline sets and the limitations of C-14 dating on lake sediments. Four highstands were detected, with lake-level variations consistent with major climatic proxies, regional aeolian activity, and climate change. The study also suggests correlations between lake-level variations in different regions and changes in dominant climate systems.

Response of surface runoff to land use and land cover change and its impact on Daihai Lake shrinkage in Inner Mongolia, China

Yanfei Zhang et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the shrinkage of Daihai Lake is mainly due to the rapid decrease in water area, reduced surface runoff, and the relationship between groundwater and the lake. Furthermore, the excessive exploitation of groundwater has exacerbated the degradation of the lake.

Summary: The study aims to reconstruct the water storage changes of Lake Hulun over the past century, with results showing the highest water storage in the 1960s and the lowest point in the 1930s-1940s. The XGBoost model demonstrates effective performance in predicting century-scale water storage variations, with precipitation being the most influential factor.

Variations of the East Asian monsoon over the past 800 kyr constrained by the boron isotope composition of paleo-rainwater inferred from loess-paleosol deposits in NE China

Fang Lei et al.

Summary: The boron isotope geochemistry of the loess-paleosol sequence in Northeast China can serve as a potential proxy for tracing changes in the East Asian summer monsoon since the mid-Pleistocene. Through mathematical inversion calculations, it was determined that the boron in the loess-paleosol layers mainly comes from atmospheric precipitation and silicate weathering. Synchronous variations in delta B-11 values and other proxies indicate a connection between the boron isotope composition and the intensity of the East Asian summer monsoon.

Evaluation of the sources and seasonal production of brGDGTs in lake Sihailongwan (NE China) and application to reconstruct paleo-temperatures over the period 60-8 ka BP

Zeyang Zhu et al.

Summary: A new paleo-temperature time series was developed based on the analysis of brGDGTs from the sedimentary record of Lake SHL, providing insights into the temperature variations in Northeast China during the Late Quaternary. The results show that the summer-autumn temperatures fluctuated between 7 degrees C and 12.5 degrees C during the period of approximately 60-8 ka BP, with the coldest period occurring around 25-21 ka BP. The increase in summer-autumn temperatures in Northeast China at around 21 ka BP was likely influenced by summer insolation at 65 degrees N.

Holocene lake-level fluctuations of Selin Co on the central Tibetan plateau: Regulated by monsoonal precipitation or meltwater?

Yandong Hou et al.

Summary: In this study, water level-related depositional profiles around the Selin Co basin from the central Tibetan Plateau were investigated using luminescence dating techniques, providing insights into the Holocene history of lake-level fluctuations. The results showed a stable highstand between 10 ka and 7 ka, followed by a significant lake-level decline, potentially influenced by changes in Indian summer monsoon intensity. The study highlights the importance of meltwater input from glaciers and permafrost in driving Holocene high lake levels, particularly during warm periods on millennial timescales.

Optical Stimulation Luminescence Dating of Deltas Revealed the Early to Mid-Holocene Lake-level Fluctuations of Daihai, Inner Mongolia, Northern China

Shixin Huang et al.

Summary: Lake-level reconstruction using 22 quartz optical stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages revealed the gradual rise of Daihai lake level during the mid-Holocene, reaching a peak and expanding to approximately six times its present size. This expansion corresponded to maximum monsoon precipitation and intensity during this period, indicating the impact of regional climate changes on the lake system.

Luminescence Dating of Late Pleistocene Lacustrine Deposits in Badain Jaran Desert, North China

Hui Zhao et al.

Summary: There are controversies over the evolution of lakes during the late Pleistocene in arid/semiarid north China. The study of lacustrine deposits in the Badain Jaran Desert revealed the existence of a paleolake dating back to different periods, with potential age underestimation due to thermal instability of quartz grains. The reliable age of the ancient lake was determined using signals from K-feldspar grains, indicating a relatively humid environment in the desert during the late MIS 5. This suggests a connection between the ancient and modern lakes in the desert.
