Asian Monsoon Variability in the Quaternary

 
 
 
 
 
 
This project is using lake sediment and peat archives from Thailand and Myanmar to reconstruct the history of monsoon variation and its ecosystem impacts.

Barbara Wolfarth at Stockholm University directs the project, in collaboration with my lab and with Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok.
