A link between solar forcing and \nHolocene climate, such as the Asian monsoon, has been shown \nfor some regions, although no mechanism for this relationship \nhas been suggested. Here we present the first high-resolution \ncomplete Holocene climate record for the North American monsoon \nregion of the southwestern United States (southwest) in order \nto address the nature and causes of Holocene climate change. \nWe show that periods of increased solar radiation correlate \nwith decreased rainfall, the opposite to that observed in the \nAsian monsoon, and suggest that a solar link to Holocene \nclimate is through changes in the Walker circulation and the \nPacific Decadal Oscillation and El Niño-Southern Oscillation \nsystems of the tropical Pacific Ocean. Given the link between \nincreased warming and aridity in the southwest, additional \nwarming due to greenhouse forcing could potentially lead to \npersistent hyperarid conditions, similar to those seen in \nour record during periods of high solar activity. \n","author":null,"citation":"Asmerom, Y., V.
