Sea-level variation during MIS 11 constrained by stepwise Osaka Bay extensions and its relation with climatic evolution

C Kariya, M Hyodo, K Tanigawa, H Sato - Quaternary Science Reviews, 2010 - Elsevier
Marine oxygen isotope stage (MIS) 11 has been described as a super-interglacial because

Intensified East Asian winter monsoon during the last geomagnetic reversal transition

Y Ueno, M Hyodo, T Yang, S Katoh - Scientific Reports, 2019 - nature.com
The strength of Earth's magnetic dipole field controls galactic cosmic ray (GCR) flux, and
GCR-induced cloud formation can affect climate. Here, we provide the first evidence of the …
