Late Pleistocene and mid-Holocene climate change derived from a Florida speleothem
Southward Shift of the Pacific ITCZ During the Holocene
The Holocene (0–11.7 ka BP) appears warm and stable in ice core and global temperature reconstructions as well as in transient climate simulations. This seeming quiescence of Earth's climate belies…
Evidence of a large cooling between 1690 and 1740 AD in southern Africa
A 350-year-long, well-dated δ18O stalagmite record from the summer rainfall region in South Africa is positively correlated with regional air surface temperatures at interannual time scales. The…
Multi-proxy speleothem record of climate instability during the early last interglacial in southern Turkey
Late glacial interhemispheric climate dynamics revealed in South African hyrax middens
Our ability to identify the timing and extent of past major climate fluctuations is central to understanding changes in the global climate system. Of the events that have occurred in recent…
Late Pleistocene stalagmite growth in Wolkberg Cave, South Africa
Abrupt climate change at ~2800 yr BP evidenced by a stalagmite record from peninsular India
This study presents an analysis of the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) rainfall variations for a 1460-year period (1720–3180, Before Present BP: 1950 AD), based on a long record of stable isotopic…
Late Holocene precipitation variability in the summer rainfall region of South Africa
High-Resolution Speleothem-Based Palaeoclimate Records From New Zealand Reveal Robust Teleconnection To North Atlantic During MIS 1-4
Growth rates, δO and δC of five stalagmites from the west coasts of North and South Islands, New Zealand, provide records of millennial-scale climate variability over the last ~75 kyr. Thirty-five…

A comparison is made of the Holocene records obtained from water isotope measurements along 11 ice cores from coastal and central sites in east Antarctica (Vostok, Dome B, Plateau Remote,…
Late Quaternary environmental change in southern Africa : START Regional Syntheses
Over the last 400 000 years, the pattern of climatic change in the southern African sector of the southern hemisphere is shown to have followed in broad outline that defined by the Vostock ice-core…
Late Glacial Stage and Holocene Tropical Ice Core Records from Huascar�n, Peru
TLDR
Two ice cores from the col of Huascar�n in the north-central Andes of Peru contain a paleoclimatic history extending well into the Wisconsinan (W�rm) Glacial Stage and include evidence of the Younger Dryas cool phase, implying that a strong warming has dominated the last two centuries.
Cainozoic environmental change in southern Africa, with special emphasis on the last 200 000 years
Since the end of the Cretaceous, Africa's latitudinal drift has been relatively small and has not significantly modified the general pattern of stepwise cooling and aridification that has…

Holocene periodicity in North Atlantic climate and deep-ocean flow south of Iceland
Climate fluctuations during the past millennium are relatively well documented. On a longer timescale, there is growing evidence of millennial-scale variability of Holocene climate, at periodicities…
Kilimanjaro Ice Core Records: Evidence of Holocene Climate Change in Tropical Africa
TLDR
Variable deposition of F– and Na+during the African Humid Period suggests rapidly fluctuating lake levels between ∼11.7 and 4 ka, which is coincident with the “First Dark Age,” the period of the greatest historically recorded drought in tropical Africa.
