dc.description.abstractThe evolution of the Asian monsoon started at around 9.5 Ma, in response to the uplift of the Himalayas. The monsoonal intensity reached its maximum at around 5 Ma, and from that time the associated easterly trade winds caused intense upwelling in the equatorial Pacific. The chronological sequence of monsoonal events, and the strength of trade winds and equatorial upwelling suggests that the Asian monsoons were an important control on global climate and oceanic productivity
