Organic and inorganic geochemical proxies from two cores in the northeastern (NE) and western Arabian Sea were employed to study orbital and suborbital climate variability of the Indian Ocean monsoons. In the NE Arabian Sea 230Th-nonnalized 232Th fluxes and authigenic uranium co…

The Indian Ocean is one of the three principal ocean basins in the world, yet it is the least explored. It is unique in that it is not connected directly to the Arctic and is forced by seasonally reversing monsoons, which play a very important role in its variability. Previous s…
Paleoclimate records suggest significant multi-centennial climate variability during the past two millennia, the Common Era (CE), despite the apparently small changes in external forcings. Proxy records suggest that the Northern hemisphere (NH) was about 0.8°C cooler during the …
Malaysia has a monsoon climate and most areas receive more than 2,500 mm of rainfall every year. For the past five years, the frequency and magnitude of floods in Malaysia have been relatively high. Floods have become the most significant type of natural disaster for Malaysia in…
