Synchronous changes in the East Asian-Australian summer monsoons around 7.2 ka

Previous evidence has identified the presence of numerous abrupt changes in the East Asian-Australian summer monsoons (EAASMs) on centennial to millennial timescales during the Holocene, which are tightly coupled with high northern latitude cooling anomalies. However, less attention has been paid to spatial characteristics in the EAASMs during the 7.2 ka event. Here a series of hydrological records from the EAASMs region are systematically...
