GoKawiilNew speleothem synthesis maps monsoon shifts across both hemispheres over 450,000 years
A compilation of cave mineral records spanning Asia, South America and Africa traces how summer monsoon systems in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres have shifted in tandem over the last 450,000 years. The records show these interhemispheric monsoon systems responding to shared climate forcings, including glacial cycles and abrupt cooling events like Heinrich stadials.
