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 history of the southern central Andes, including the world's second largest plateau and
adjacent intermontane basins and ranges of the Eastern Cordillera and the northern Sierras …

Late Pleistocene ice-age climates are routinely characterized as having imposed moisture
stress on low-to mid-latitude ecosystems,,,–. This idea is largely based on fossil pollen …

Meandering rivers are diagnostic landforms of hydrologically active planets, and their
migration regulates the continental component of biogeochemical cycles that stabilize …

We present simulations of water‐stable isotopes from the LMDZ general circulation model
(the LMDZ‐iso GCM) and evaluate them at different time scales (synoptic to interannual) …

Abstract Large paleolakes (∼ 33,000–60,000 km2) that once occupied the high-altitude
Poopo, Coipasa, and Uyuni Basins in southern Bolivia (18–22° S) provide evidence of major …

Abstract The South American Summer Monsoon (SASM) is a prominent feature of
summertime climate over South America and has been identified in a number of …

The hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert possesses important reserves of “fossil” or ancient
groundwater, yet the extent and timing of past hydrologic change during the late Quaternary …

Paleoclimate records from the Atacama Desert are rare and mostly discontinuous, mainly
recording runoff from the Precordillera to the east, rather than local precipitation. Until now …

The refugial hypothesis is treated as the definitive history of Amazonian forests in many
texts. Surprisingly, this important theoretical framework has not been based on …
