UA geoscientist Alexis Licht (bottom left) and his colleagues from the French-Burmese Paleontological Team used fossils they collected in Myanmar to determine that the Asian monsoon started at least 40 million years ago. Jean-Jacques Jaeger (center, with hiking stick) of the University of Poiters, France, led the team. (Photo credit: French-Burmese Paleontological Team, 2012)
