Terrestrial fossil-pollen evidence of climate change during the last 26 thousand years in Southern Africa
In order to define criteria for long-term climate change models in Southern Africa, an
overview of the available pollen data during the Late Quaternary is needed. Here we …

Catastrophic drought in the Afro-Asian monsoon region during Heinrich event 1
Between 15,000 and 18,000 years ago, large amounts of ice and meltwater entered the
North Atlantic during Heinrich stadial 1. This caused substantial regional cooling, but major …

Rock hyrax middens: a palaeoenvironmental archive for southern African drylands
Like many of the world's subtropical regions, southern Africa is highly sensitive to changes in
the earth's climate system, but a dearth of reliable palaeoenvironmental records means that …
