Scientists reveal hydroclimatic changes on multiple timescales in Central Asia over the past 7‚800 years

A recent study published in the PNAS shows that western Central Asia has experienced a long-term drying trend over the past 7‚800 years. This discovery‚ based on the analysis of a stalagmite from the Fergana Valley in Kyrgyzstan‚ adds a critical piece to the understanding of westerly-influenced hydroclimatic patterns in Central Asia.
