East African megadroughts between 135 and 75 thousand years ago and bearing on early-modern human origins

Results from new scientific drill cores from Lake Malawi are presented, the first long and continuous, high-fidelity records of tropical climate change from the continent itself, providing evidence for dramatically wetter conditions after 70 kyr ago.

Large temperature variability in the southern African tropics since the Last Glacial Maximum

The role of the tropics in global climate change is actively debated, particularly in regard to the timing and magnitude of thermal and hydrological response. Continuous, high‐resolution temperature…

Wet phases in the Sahara/Sahel region and human migration patterns in North Africa

The data suggest that variability in the strength of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a main control on vegetation distribution in central North Africa and, at times, contributed to amenable conditions in the central Sahara/Sahel, allowing humans to cross this otherwise inhospitable region.

Wet and arid phases in the southeast African tropics since the Last Glacial Maximum

Plant leaf wax carbon isotopes provide a record of C 3 versus C 4 vegetation, a sensitive indicator of aridity, from the southeast African tropics since the Last Glacial Maximum. Wet and arid phases…

Indonesian Throughflow drove Australian climate from humid Pliocene to arid Pleistocene

Late Miocene to mid‐Pleistocene sedimentary proxy records reveal that northwest Australia underwent an abrupt transition from dry to humid climate conditions at 5.5 million years (Ma), likely…

Millennial-scale sea surface temperature changes in the eastern Mediterranean (Nile River Delta region) over the last 27,000 years

[1] In this study we utilize two organic geochemical proxies, the U37k′ index and TEX86, to examine past sea surface temperatures (SST) from a site located near the Nile River Delta in the eastern…

Glacial-interglacial vegetation dynamics in South Eastern Africa coupled to sea surface temperature variations in the Western Indian Ocean

Abstract. Glacial-interglacial fluctuations in the vegetation of South Africa might elucidate the climate system at the edge of the tropics between the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. However, vegetation…
