    10. Stratigraphy and paleoclimatic/paleoenviromental evolution across the Early–Middle Pleistocene transition in the Chiba composite section, Japan, and other reference sections in East Asia

    This special issue focuses on sedimentary records from the Chiba composite section and its stratigraphic correlation with other reference sections in East Asia. It addresses terrestrial and marine paleoclimatic and paleo-environmental co-evolution with emphasis on the mid-latitude westerly jet stream, East Asian monsoon, North Pacific Gyre, and the interplay of subtropical and subpolar settings through the Early–Middle Pleistocene transition.

    capitalization is needed to be consistent with the purpose of the special issue, which is to promote the Chiba section as the GSSP candidate for both the Chibanian Stage and the Middle Pleistocene Subseries.
