The Andes is the longest cordillera in the world and extends from northern South America to
the southern extreme of the continent (from 11° N to 53° S). The Andes runs through seven …

Monsoons are the dominant seasonal mode of climate variability in the tropics and are
critically important conveyors of atmospheric moisture and energy at a global scale …

This paper presents a compilation of atmospheric radiocarbon for the period 1950–2019,
derived from atmospheric CO2 sampling and tree rings from clean-air sites. Following the …

A better understanding of the relative roles of internal climate variability and external
contributions, from both natural (solar, volcanic) and anthropogenic greenhouse gas forcing …

South American (SA) societies are highly vulnerable to droughts and pluvials, but lack of
long-term climate observations severely limits our understanding of the global processes …

The Andes is the most biodiverse region across the globe. In addition, some of the largest
urban areas in South America are located within this region. Therefore, ecosystems and …

The response of the global water cycle to changes in global surface temperature remains an
outstanding question in future climate projections and in past climate reconstructions. The …

This selective review of the Quaternary paleoclimate of the South American summer
monsoon (SASM) domain presents viewpoints regarding a range of key issues in the field …

The exact extent, by which the hydrologic cycle in the Neotropics was affected by external
forcing during the last deglaciation, remains poorly understood. Here we present a new …

Monsoon has earned increasing attention from the climate community since the last century,
yet only recently have regional monsoons been recognized as a global system. It remains a …
