Southeast African records reveal a coherent shift from high-to low-latitude forcing mechanisms along the east African margin across last glacial–interglacial transition
Late Quaternary climate variability in the southern African subtropics is still only poorly
resolved, with significant complexity and apparent contradictions in the regional dataset. To …

Terrestrial fossil-pollen evidence of climate change during the last 26 thousand years in Southern Africa
In order to define criteria for long-term climate change models in Southern Africa, an
overview of the available pollen data during the Late Quaternary is needed. Here we …

Estimating the hydrogen isotopic composition of past precipitation using leaf-waxes from western Africa
The hydrogen isotopic composition of plant leaf-wax n-alkanes (δDwax) is a novel proxy for
estimating δD of past precipitation (δDp). However, vegetation life-form and relative humidity …
