With the highest and largest plateau in the world, the world's thickest loess, marvelous karst formations, and near twenty thousand kilometers of coastline, China has paleoenvironmental records at many different time resolutions and over a wide range of time periods, from climate zones with tropical to sub-zero temperatures and from moist coastal to dry interior precipitation. The monsoon climate regime governs most natural processes in very large part of China. With the oldest continuous civilization, human activity has been influencing environmental change significantly and over a wide area. The paleoenvironmental research community and scientists in China are willing to collaborate with others globally to investigate the past of our planet and supply data for future climate simulations.
