Description
Working with three sediment cores retrieved from Cattle Pond, Dongdao Island in the South China Sea (16°39'-16°41'N, 112°43'-112°45'E), Yan et al. report that their "downcore grain size reconstructions indicate that this site received less precipitation during relatively warm periods, AD 1000-1400 and AD 1850-2000, compared with the cool period (AD 1400-1850), the first of which warm periods thus represents the MWP at the site they studied.
