Southeast African records reveal a coherent shift from high-to low-latitude forcing mechanisms along the east African margin across last glacial–interglacial transition
M Chevalier, BM Chase - Quaternary Science Reviews, 2015 - Elsevier
Late Quaternary climate variability in the southern African subtropics is still only poorly
resolved, with significant complexity and apparent contradictions in the regional dataset. To …

Downscaling last glacial maximum climate over southern Africa
We conducted the first dynamic downscaling of Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) climate over
southern Africa using a regional climate model. Eight coupled global climate model (CGCM) …

The environmental context for the origins of modern human diversity: a synthesis of regional variability in African climate 150,000–30,000 years ago
We synthesize African paleoclimate from 150 to 30 ka (thousand years ago) using 85
diverse datasets at a regional scale, testing for coherence with North Atlantic …

Catastrophic drought in the Afro-Asian monsoon region during Heinrich event 1
Between 15,000 and 18,000 years ago, large amounts of ice and meltwater entered the
North Atlantic during Heinrich stadial 1. This caused substantial regional cooling, but major …
