Earth's tropical and subtropical rainbands, such as Intertropical Convergence Zones (ITCZs)
and monsoons, are complex systems, governed by both large‐scale constraints on the …

The surface uplift of mountain belts is generally assumed to reflect progressive shortening
and crustal thickening, leading to their gradual rise. Recent studies of the Andes indicate …

Excessive precipitation over the southeastern tropical Pacific is a major common bias that
persists through generations of global climate models. While recent studies suggest an …

The authors quantify the relationship between the location of the intertropical convergence
zone (ITCZ) and the atmospheric heat transport across the equator (AHT EQ) in climate …

Rainfall in the tropics is largely focused in a narrow zonal band near the Equator, known as
the intertropical convergence zone. On average, substantially more rain falls just north of the …

We review the history of the South American summer monsoon (SASM) over the past~ 2000
yr based on high-resolution stable isotope proxies from speleothems, ice cores and lake …

The largest tectonic relief breaking the Earth's surface (13 km vertically) is at the subduction
margin of the Andes, which generates routinely megathrust earthquakes (Mw> 8.5) and …

Tropical rainfall patterns control the subsistence lifestyle of more than one billion people.
Seasonal changes in these rainfall patterns are associated with changes in the position of …

Decadal and centennial mean state changes in South American summer monsoon (SASM)
precipitation during the last 2,300 years are detailed using an annually resolved authigenic …

Sedimentological data and hydrogen isotopic measurements of leaf wax long-chain n-
