Interglacials of the last 800,000 years
Past Interglacials Working Group of … - Reviews of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Interglacials, including the present (Holocene) period, are warm, low land ice extent (high
sea level), end‐members of glacial cycles. Based on a sea level definition, we identify …

Southeast African records reveal a coherent shift from high-to low-latitude forcing mechanisms along the east African margin across last glacial–interglacial transition
M Chevalier, BM Chase - Quaternary Science Reviews, 2015 - Elsevier
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 …
