dc.description.abstractHolocene history of the Indian monsoon reconstruction using environmental magnetism has emerged as an effective paleoclimate proxy with its fast, efficient, and repeatable measuring procedures. In this chapter, we have made an attempt to provide a broad synthesis of the available sediment magnetic records obtained from the loess-paleosols (central Himalaya), lake (western India), delta and lagoon sequences (eastern coast Godavari and Iskapalli). Variations in magnetomineralogical S-ratio values of sediment archives were combined and stacked as a surrogate for Holocene paleomonsoon change. High S-ratio results from low weathering rates were attributed to more wet conditions, while low S-ratios were related to dry conditions from intense low temperature oxidation. Combining the S-ratio data from diverse environments collectively revealed three broad climate phases with minor oscillations during the past 20 ka. These are (i) a step-wise intensification of the SW monsoon since the Last Glacial Maximum with its peak level at ∼9.0 ka, (ii) the prevalence of a prolonged dry spell along the eastern coast and western India at ∼3.5 ka that led to the collapse of the Harappan civilization, and (iii) reduction of monsoon rainfall during the period of global cooling events such as Last Glacial Maximum, Younger Dryas, and Little Ice Age. We observed that instead of the concentration-specific magnetic susceptibility (χ), the combined remanence S-ratio seems to be a more sensitive proxy responding to the monsoon variability both at centennial and millennial time scales.en_US
