Description :
The upper Holocene marine section from a kasten core taken from the oxygen minimum zone off Karachi (Pakistan) at water depth 700 m contains continuously laminated sediments with a sedimentation rate of 1.2 mm/yr and a unique record of monsoonal climatic variability covering the past 5000 years. The chronostratigraphy is based on varve counts verified by conventional and AMS C 14 dating. Discussion of the results in order to evaluate their significance for global and regional climate variability.
