    Abstract
  • Abrupt climate change in the Holocene has attracted much attention for its behavior and mechanism, and becomes a research focus in study of the global change. Here we provide two high-precision 230Th dated high-resolution speleothem δ18O records from the Dongge Cave, southwestern China to explore the structural features and dynamic mechanism of the little ice age （LIA） and the“8.2ka BP”event in Asian summer monsoon changes. Comparing two events in speleothem records in detail suggests that the two events are similar in duration, oscillation amplitude with a typical “valley-peak-valley” structure. Freshwater discharge and its resulting in weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation （AMOC） may be the primary driving force for the“8.2ka BP”event. It implies that the weak monsoon events with similar structural features is also response to the AMOC mechanism.Furthermore, our δ18O record during the LIA is broadly similar to the local radiocarbon reservoir age offset derived from an absolutely dated annually resolved shell chronology from the north Icelandic shelf. This consistence suggests that AMOC plays a primary role in driving low-latitude hydrological circulation via shifts in the mean position of the intertropical convergence zone.
