There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Orbital Scale Variability of the South Asian MonsoonÂ
The orbital-scale timing of the South Asian summer monsoon precipitation is still not fully understood. In this talk, I will compare and contrast published speleothem and marine sediment based monsoon precipitation/intensity reconstructions from the South Asian and East Asian monsoon domains. I will conclude by highlighting differences between the South Asian and East Asian summer monsoons and the importance of internal processes forcing monsoon variability.
