Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) preserved in lake sediments are
increasingly used to investigate past terrestrial temperatures. brGDGTs are ubiquitous in …

Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to severely impact the global hydrological cycle,
particularly in tropical regions where agriculture-based economies depend on monsoon …

Understanding fire-climate relationships in eastern North America is difficult due to human
impacts on fire in the region. Predicting future wildfire activity in the region is further …

Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are membrane-spanning lipids
produced by bacteria that are ubiquitous in natural sedimentary archives and preserved …

Climate models and ongoing monitoring studies predict the remaining glaciers in Africa are
predicted to disappear by the middle of the 21st Century. These will likely be the only …

Global warming during the Last Glacial Termination was interrupted by millennial-scale cool
intervals such as the Younger Dryas and the Antarctic Cold Reversal (ACR). Although these …

Eastern Africa has experienced strong climatic changes since the last deglaciation (15 000
years ago). The driving mechanisms and teleconnections of these spatially complex climate …

Heavy metal pollution from human and natural activities poses significant environmental and
health concerns for wildlife and humans, with lead and zinc being particularly threatening …

The magnitude of tropical cooling during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM;∼ 19–26.5 ka)
remains controversial, with sea‐surface temperatures cooling by several degrees less than …

Current‐generation climate models project that Africa will warm by up to 5° C in the coming
century, severely stressing African populations. Past and ongoing work indicates, however …
