Timing and causes of North African wet phases during the last glacial period and implications for modern human migration (2016)
Journal Article
Hoffmann, D. L., Rogerson, M., Spötl, C., Luetscher, M., Vance, D., Osborne, A. H., Fello, N. M., & Moseley, G. E. (2016). Timing and causes of North African wet phases during the last glacial period and implications for modern human migration. Scientific reports, 6(1), Article ARTN 36367. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep36367

We present the first speleothem-derived central North Africa rainfall record for the last glacial period. The record reveals three main wet periods at 65-61 ka, 52.5-50.5 ka and 37.5-33 ka that lead obliquity maxima and precession minima. We find add...

The Weber Deep—a 7.2-km-deep forearc basin within the tightly curved Banda arc of eastern Indonesia—is the deepest point of the Earth’s oceans not within a trench. Several models have been proposed to explain the tectonic evolution of the Banda arc i... Read More about Rolling open Earth's deepest forearc basin.
