“…The inferred moisture history for Pa Kho since AD 1450 (Figure 4c) compares well to the moderately intense summer monsoon reconstructed from Indian cave speleothems (Berkelhammer et al, 2010;Sinha et al, 2011aSinha et al, , 2011bSinha et al, , 2007 and Arabian Sea proxies (Anderson et al, 2010(Anderson et al, , 2002, but seems to diverge from the hydroclimatic scenario established for Wanxiang Cave (Zhang et al, 2008). A correspondence can also be found between the Pa Kho record and climate inferences for Dongdao Island and southwest Sulawesi, where higher precipitation has been reconstructed since AD 1400 (Figure 4d and f) (Tierney et al, 2010;Yan et al, 2011).…”
