Climate variability and hominin evolution are inextricably linked. Yet, hypotheses examining
the impact of large-scale climate shifts on hominin landscape ecology are often constrained …

Abstract The Australian and African continents, regions prone to hydroclimate extremes (eg,
droughts and floods), but with sparse distribution of rain-gauge that are limited in time, rely …

Spatially compounding droughts over multiple regions pose amplifying pressures on the
global food system, the reinsurance industry, and the global economy. Using observations …

Summer rainfall in the Sahel region of Africa exhibits one of the largest signals of climatic
variability and with a population reliant on agricultural productivity, the Sahel is particularly …

Background: Climate-based disease forecasting has been proposed as a potential tool in
climate change adaptation for the health sector. Here we explore the relevance of climate …

Abstract The 2015/2016 El Niño has been classified as one of the three most severe on
record. El Niño teleconnections are commonly associated with droughts in southern Africa …

Rainfall from the October–November–December (OND) short rains season over East Africa
(EA, 5° S–20° N, 28–52° E) were analysed during the 1983–2010 period using state‐of‐the …

Climate oscillations ranging from years to decades drive precipitation variability in many
river basins globally. As a result, many regions will require new water infrastructure …

Trends in daily maximum (TX) and minimum (TN) temperatures and indices of warm
extremes are studied in tropical North Africa, west of the eastern African highlands, from …

Previous studies reported an “abrupt regime shift” in the relationship between the East
African short rains (EASR), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and the El Niño–Southern Oscillation …
