Two fundamental questions about the ice-age climate system await satisfactory resolution.
First, if summer solar radiation intensity truly controls the orbital signature of the last glacial …

Variations in the nature and extent of southern Africa's winter rainfall zone (WRZ) have the
potential to provide important information concerning the nature of long-term climate change …

Changes in the strength and position of Southern Hemisphere westerly winds during the

Geochemical and clay mineral parameters of a high accumulation marine sediment core
from the Chilean continental slope (41° S) provide a 7700 yr record of rainfall variability in …

Marine sediment cores from the continental slope off mid-latitude Chile (33° S) were studied
