1. Authigenic 10Be/9Be ratios and 10Be-fluxes
(230Thxs-normalized) in central Baffin Bay sediments during the last glacial
cycle: Paleoenvironmental implications

Guillaume St-Onge
•10Be/9Be ratios
and 10Be-fluxes yield equivalent results from glaciomarine sediments.
•10Be-systematic
variability mainly obeys to glacio-climatic condition changes.
•10Be production
proxies do not allow to characterize the geomagnetic features in PC16.
•Denudation rates
are steady except for brief ice surging episodes coeval to H-events.
•10Be
concentration is controlled by freshwater inputs from regional Ice Sheets.

2. Sedimentary responses to sea-level rise and
Kuroshio Current intrusion since the Last Glacial Maximum: Grain size and clay
mineral evidence from the northern South China Sea slope
Jianguo Liu, , , Rong Xiang, S.-J. Kao, Shaoying Fu, Liping Zhou
•Taiwan sediment contribution reached the peak (> 80%) in the
Holocene.
•The Pearl River sediment contribution was the highest (< 30%)
during the LGM.
•The KC might be significant force for Taiwanese sediment
transport.
•Sediment sources remained stable as sea level rose to a certain
height.
3. Lacustrine record of centennial- and
millennial-scale rainfall variability of the East Asian summer monsoon during
the last deglaciation: Multi-proxy evidence from Taiwan
Xiaodong Dinga, Liwei Zhenga, Dawei Lia,
Tien-Nan Yangb, Teh-Quei Leeb, Shuh-Ji Kaoa,
•The EASM variability during the last deglaciation was reconstructed
based on high-resolution multi-proxy and well-dated lacustrine records from
Taiwan.
•The detailed information of the millennial- and centennial-scale
oscillations of the EASM were unraveled.
•The variation of SST in the tropical Pacific might have
synergistic control on the EASM precipitation in Taiwan on centennial timescale
during the last deglaciation.
•High sedimentation events during the early Holocene in our record
probably related to frequent typhoon activities.
4. A new late Quaternary palaeohydrological
record from the humid tropics of northeastern Australia

•High resolution X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) is presented as a robust
palaeoclimatic proxy
•XRF identifies wet and dry shifts in a complex sedimentary
sequence extracted from a volcanic crater in NE Australia
•XRF record correlates well with magnetic susceptibility,
humification, grainsize, macrocharcoal, δ13C, C/N and pollen
•Abrupt climate events recorded at 32,690, 30,080, 24,660, 21,870,
11,880, 10,020, 9170 and 5120 cal. yr BP

6. The impact of
glacier retreat from the Ross Sea on local climate: Characterization of mineral
dust in the Taylor Dome ice core, East Antarctica

Gabriellib, c, B. Delmonted, J.M. Koornneefe, A.
Wegnera, f, M.A. Blakowski
•Coastal East Antarctica dust sources and pathways vary
between climate periods.
•Our data are consistent with a rapid retreat of Ross Ice
Shelf that caused shift in storm trajectories to Taylor Dome.
•Ice shelf extent affects regional climate agreeable with
dust variations in the record of Taylor Dome.
7. Late
Miocene–Pliocene Asian monsoon intensification linked to Antarctic ice-sheet
growth
Hong Aoa, , , Andrew P. Robertsb, Mark

•Improved magnetochronology for the Shilou Red Clay on
the Chinese Loess Plateau.
•New magnetic records of the Late Miocene–Pliocene East
Asian Summer monsoon.
•East Asian Summer monsoon intensity increases
progressively from ∼8 to 2.6 Ma.
•Asian monsoon intensification is attributed to increased
Antarctic glaciation.
