 *China* 

**History and Prediction of the Asian Monsoon** 

**and Glacial Terminations, Based on Records** 

What caused the global ice sheets to come and go? Knowledge of this question is crucial for understanding global climate evolution and predicting future climate changes. Since the 1840s, when geologists firstly noted the expansion and retreat of ice sheets on land, scientists have been trying to solve this question. Although at present it is generally thought that the glacial cycles are driven by changes in solar insolation due to subtle variations in Earth's orbit parameters (Milankovitch, 1941; Hays et al., 1976; Imbrie et al., 1992), the mechanism by which and the degree to which insolation plays a role on the glacial terminations remains unclear. For example, if glacial cycles vary directly in response to insolation, why do glacial

The benthic δ18O in the ocean is known to increase with glaciation and thus can be used to estimate the global ice-volume changes (Hays et al., 1976; Imbrie et al., 1984; Ruddiman, 2003). Therefore, precise timing of the benthic δ18O records is crucial for testing the exact relationship between glacial terminations and changes in insolation. Generally, a record of benthic δ18O versus depth was transformed into a record versus time by tuning the benthic δ18O record to the Earth's orbital parameters (e.g. Imbrie et al., 1984; Ruddiman et al., 1986; Raymo et al., 1989; Shackleton et al., 1990; Lisiecki and Raymo, 2005). However, it is problematic to discuss the linkage between glacial termination and solar insolation based on the astronomical chronology because of the risk of circular reasoning. In the present study, therefore a different procedure independent of orbital tuning was adopted to establish the timescale for the late Quaternary benthic δ18O record retrieved from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1143, southern South China Sea (Fig. 1). On the one hand, Zhang et al. (2007) recently published a high-resolution Asian summer monsoon record over the last 600 kyr using the ratio of hematite to goethite contents (Hm/Gt) from this site. On the other hand, the high-resolution (from orbital down to millennial) variations in Asian summer monsoon in South China over the last 350 kyr are now available from the δ18O of stalagmites from caves, which were accurately dated by high-resolution U-series analyses (Wang et al., 2001, 2005, 2008; Yuan et al., 2004; Zhang et al., 2008; Cheng et al., 2009). The stalagmite δ18O

terminations not occur at every time of increasing insolation?
