Evidence for climatic change across the North American Monsoon (NAM) and adjacent
areas is reviewed, drawing on continental and marine records and the application of climate …

Abstract The Last Glacial Termination is marked by changing environmental conditions
affected by abrupt and rapid climate oscillations, such as Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1), which is …

Tropical paleoclimate records provide important insights into the response of precipitation
patterns and the Hadley circulation to past climate changes. Paleo-records are commonly …

The exact extent, by which the hydrologic cycle in the Neotropics was affected by external
forcing during the last deglaciation, remains poorly understood. Here we present a new …

Because of differences in craniofacial morphology and dentition between the earliest
American skeletons and modern Native Americans, separate origins have been postulated …

A substantial strengthening of the South American monsoon system (SAMS) during Heinrich
Stadials (HS) points toward decreased cross‐equatorial heat transport as the main driver of …

Recent geological studies demonstrate that the Isthmus of Panama emerged some 10 my
earlier than previously assumed. Although absent today in Panama, Central American …

Diatom-based transfer functions for salinity, precipitation and temperature were developed
using a training set that included data from 40 sites along central Mexico. These transfer …

Major changes in global rainfall patterns accompanied a northward shift of Earth's thermal
equator at the onset of an abrupt climate change 14.6 kya. This northward pull of Earth's …

Abstract Lake Petén Itzá, northern Guatemala, lies within a hydrologically closed basin in the
south-central area of the Yucatán Peninsula, and was drilled under the auspices of the …
