Article Synopsis
- The sustainability of human societies relies on our ability to predict the impacts of climate change, informed by historical data.
- In coastal East Asia, acquiring reliable paleoenvironmental data for understanding past climate effects on local communities is difficult due to human disruptions.
- A study from Jeju Island, Korea, reveals that climate changes in the mid-to-late Holocene were influenced by sea surface temperature variations and significant solar activity fluctuations, impacting ancient Korean societies during several cooling events.
Inconsistent reconstructions of East Asian hydroclimate for the last millennium significantly limit our understanding of the mechanisms behind climate variability during the medieval climate anomaly (MCA) and little ice age (LIA) in the region. In this study, we present new high-resolution multiproxy records (diatom, δC, C/N, TS) from the Mulyoungari swamp, Jeju Island, South Korea. Our results indicate that El Niño southern oscillation-like variations caused the dry MCA/wet LIA pattern in the study area.
