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 …
