Rapid climate variability has been hypothesized to play an important role in hominin
evolution, yet our knowledge of Plio-Pleistocene climate change on short timescales is poor …

In this study, new approaches are developed for measuring and understanding the reactivity
of East African amplifier lakes and the societies that occupied their margins to African …

Reconstructions of climatic and environmental conditions can contribute to current debates
about the factors that influenced early human dispersal within and beyond Africa. Here we …

The Ethiopian rift is known for its diverse landscape, ranging from arid and semi-arid
savannahs to high and humid mountainous regions. Lacustrine sediments and paleo …

Stable carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) isotope measurements in lacustrine ostracodes
are widely used as paleolimnological indicators of past climate change. Previous work has …

This paper evaluates risk-oriented frameworks for explaining environmental, social, and
economic changes faced by fishing and herding communities in the Turkana Basin during …

Previous paleolimnological studies demonstrated that the sediments of Garba Guracha,
situated at 3950 m asl in the afro-alpine zone of the Bale Mountains of Ethiopia, provide a …

In eastern Africa, there are few long, high-quality records of environmental change at high
altitudes, inhibiting a broader understanding of regional climate change. We investigated a …

During the past 25 ka, southern Ethiopia has undergone tremendous climatic changes, from
dry and relatively cold during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 25–18 ka) to the African …

Abstract The Quaternary sediments in Egypt record the interplay of several factors, the most
important of which are marine, fluvial, terrestrial and climatic factors. According to the …
