Mediterranean climate and oceanography, and the periodic development of anoxic events (sapropels)
Mediterranean sapropels are layers with elevated organic carbon concentrations that
contrast with surrounding sediments, which are organic poor. Sapropels occur (quasi-) …

Trends, rhythms and events in Plio-Pleistocene African climate
We analyzed published records of terrigenous dust flux from marine sediments off
subtropical West Africa, the eastern Mediterranean Sea, and the Arabian Sea, and lake …

Ancient watercourses and biogeography of the Sahara explain the peopling of the desert
Evidence increasingly suggests that sub-Saharan Africa is at the center of human evolution
and understanding routes of dispersal “out of Africa” is thus becoming increasingly …

A humid corridor across the Sahara for the migration of early modern humans out of Africa 120,000 years ago
It is widely accepted that modern humans originated in sub-Saharan Africa≈ 150–200
thousand years ago (ka), but their route of dispersal across the currently hyperarid Sahara …

A 3 million year index for North African humidity/aridity and the implication of potential pan-African Humid periods
Mediterranean sediments are valuable archives of both African monsoon variability and
higher-latitude climate processes, and can also be used to provide an environmental context …
