(a) The photograph of GU-Xi-1 stalagmite shows the height of the specimen used in this study (18 cm), with a rounded top and no ‘cup’ that could imply drip erosion. Also shown is the milling channel for the stable isotopes adjacent to a cm ruler as well as the upper nine pits on stalagmite GU-Xi-1 (upper part) used to for age determination. (b) Age model that we used in this study. A thorough discussion on the age model is presented in the methods section. The vertical lines represent the error bars (two s.d.).
